Favorite Amazon Lex provides the power of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for converting speech to text, along with natural language understanding (NLU) for recognizing user intents. This combination allows you to develop sophisticated conversational interfaces using both voice and text for chatbots, IVR bots, and voicebots. This week, we’re announcing
Favorite The modeling phase is a highly iterative process in machine learning (ML) projects, where data scientists experiment with various data preprocessing and feature engineering strategies, intertwined with different model architectures, which are then trained with disparate sets of hyperparameter values. This highly iterative process with many moving parts can,
Favorite In this post, we show you how to select the right metadata for your use case when building a recommendation engine using Amazon Personalize. The aim is to help you optimize your models to generate more user-relevant recommendations. We look at which metadata is most relevant to include for
Favorite In recent years, businesses are increasingly looking for ways to integrate the power of machine learning (ML) into business decision-making. This post demonstrates the use case of creating an optimal incentive program to offer customers identified as being at risk of leaving for a competitor, or churning. It extends

OCR and document understanding are still vibrant areas of research because they’re both valuable and hard problems to solve. AWS has been
Favorite Implementing Knowledge Management involves identifying opportunities where KM can help the business. But how do you spot these opportunities? My Name is Opportunity, by One Way Stock, on Flickr Implementing KM is not just a case of top-down roll-out of a Knowledge Management framework, but should involve looking for
Favorite University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (UIUC) has partnered with the Amazon Machine Learning Solutions Lab to help UIUC football coaches prepare for games more efficiently and improve their odds of winning. Previously, coaches prepared for games by creating a game planning sheet that only featured types of plays for
Favorite Do learning organisations require learning leaders? Almost certainly they do, but will learning leaders require their organisations to learn as well? How well do leaders learn? There is the stereotype of the bull-headed CEO, hanging on to their dream, forging ahead single-mindedly until they dominate the industry. But is
Favorite Here is an interesting story about a couple of scientists who created a craft which reached the edge of space, and who (as good knowledge workers should) captured their lessons learned afterwards. The surprise is that they were only 8 and 10 years old at the time! The young
