About the track
Learn how to build, train, and deploy high-quality models at any scale, without having to worry about infrastructure. Focus on understanding the ML problem at hand, and on how to solve it using either existing algorithms or your own.
Graph Neural Networks, the new way of doing Deep Learning
Most data in the real world is non-Euclidean, meaning they are not in tabular form. By squashing the data in a table, we loose invaluable information, especially in terms of structural similarities and causal relatedness. Graph Neural networks embrace non-tabular data. In the last few years, both science and technology have advanced to finally allow massive parallel computations on Graphs and open up a new frontier on deep learning. By attending this talk, you will learn about graph neural networks and an example of how to easily train a graph neural network using Neptune ML.
Speaker: Will Badr, Principal SA, AWS
No code machine learning with Amazon SageMaker Canvas
There is often a treasure trove of internal data available to data modelers, data engineers, data analysts in the enterprises. Citizen data experts in those companies are often not data scientists and they can only utilize their data for reactive analytical reporting. In this session, you learn how Amazon Canvas provides a visual no-code tool for predictive analytics.
Speaker: Sofian Hamiti, Senior ML Solutions Architect, AWS
ML the easy way Free of charge ML sandbox with Amazon SageMaker Studio Lab
In a fast moving field such as machine learning (ML), continuous learning is of essential value. Whether data scientists and researchers are trying to learn new subjects or the novice trying to dip their toe in the field for the first time, they would need an environment that is free of charge, free of complexity to consume services, and free of stress and hassle of having to use credit cards to log in and making mistakes that result in payable bills. Amazon SageMaker Labs provide such open environments in which an experimenter can train models on GPU instances without having to pay or use a credit card as a guarantee. Additionally, the Amazon SageMaker Labs provides connectivity to other fundamental AWS services to provide experimenters with the ability to test their work against similar environments to those they use at work. This talk intends to provide an introductory hands on guide to using Amazon SageMaker Labs.
Speaker: Boaz Ziniman, Developer Advocate, AWS
Train your models faster using Amazon SageMaker training compiler
As DL models grow in complexity, so does the time it can take to optimize and train them. In practice, optimizing machine learning (ML) code is difficult, time-consuming, and a rare skill set to acquire. Data scientists typically write their training code in a Python-based ML framework and rely on those frameworks to compile their models to efficient kernels. These translations are often very inefficient. In this session you will learn how to use SageMaker Training Compiler to automatically compile your Python training code and generate GPU kernels specifically for your model.

Speaker: Jon Reade, Senior AI/ML Specialist Solutions Architect, AWS
Prepare and make sense of your data rapidly using Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler
The process of data preparation and feature engineering is perhaps the most tedius and the most time consuming part of machine learning. The challenge that begins with time and resources for the preparation phase extends to lengthy time to market and uncertainty about whether or not, data processing and feature engineering processes have led to an optimal input to the models. Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler supports optimization and automation of data processing and feature engineering using visual tools. Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler reduces the time it takes to aggregate and prepare data for machine learning (ML) from weeks to minutes. This talks provides data engineers with a practical guide to Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler.
Speaker: Javier Ramirez, Developer Advocate, AWS
A Low Code solution to prepare, analyze, and view your data
Data preparation is a critical step to get data ready for analytics or machine learning.
