Solving numerical optimization problems like scheduling, routing, and allocation with Amazon SageMaker Processing

Favorite In this post, we discuss solving numerical optimization problems using the very flexible Amazon SageMaker Processing API. Optimization is the process of finding the minimum (or maximum) of a function that depends on some inputs, called design variables. This pattern is relevant to solving business-critical problems such as scheduling,

Translating JSON documents using Amazon Translate

Favorite JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a schema-less, lightweight format for storing and transporting data. It’s a text-based, self-describing representation of structured data that is based on key-value pairs. JSON is supported either natively or through libraries in most major programming languages, and is commonly used to exchange information between

Data processing options for AI/ML

Favorite Training an accurate machine learning (ML) model requires many different steps, but none are potentially more important than data processing. Examples of processing steps include converting data to the input format expected by the ML algorithm, rescaling and normalizing, cleaning and tokenizing text, and many more. However, data processing

Building an omnichannel Q&A chatbot with Amazon Connect, Amazon Lex, Amazon Kendra, and the open-source QnABot project

Favorite For many students, embarking on a higher education journey is an exciting time filled with new experiences. However, like anything new, it also can also bring plenty of questions to answer and obstacles to overcome. Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma City (OSU-OKC) recognized this, and was intent on providing a

Running multiple HPO jobs in parallel on Amazon SageMaker

Favorite The ability to rapidly iterate and train machine learning (ML) models is key to deriving business value from ML workloads. Because ML models often have many tunable parameters (known as hyperparameters) that can influence the model’s ability to effectively learn, data scientists often use a technique known as hyperparameter

Training and deploying models using TensorFlow 2 with the Object Detection API on Amazon SageMaker

Favorite With the rapid growth of object detection techniques, several frameworks with packaged pre-trained models have been developed to provide users easy access to transfer learning. For example, GluonCV, Detectron2, and the TensorFlow Object Detection API are three popular computer vision frameworks with pre-trained models. In this post, we use
