We’re excited to announce that starting today Amazon SageMaker supports a built-in k-Nearest-Neighbor (kNN) algorithm for solving classification and regression problems. kNN is a simple, interpretable, and surprisingly strong model for multi-class classification, ranking, and regression. Introduction to kNN The idea behind kNN is that similar data points should have the same class, at least […]

The Discover Financial Services (DFS) team members who attended AWS re:Invent agreed that the Robocar Rally was an extremely impactful experience. By participating in this hackathon, six members of Discover’s core team received hands-on experience using machine learning (ML) and deep learning on AWS. They had a blast and created lasting memories! Discover’s Cloud Center […]

Amazon SageMaker now supports Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Endpoints via AWS PrivateLink so you can initiate prediction calls to your machine learning models hosted on Amazon SageMaker inside your VPC, without going over the internet. Amazon SageMaker is a fully-managed platform that enables developers and data scientists to quickly and easily build, train, and deploy machine learning […]

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a very popular technique used by data scientists primarily for dimensionality reduction in numerous applications ranging from stock market prediction to medical image classification. Other uses of PCA include de-noising and feature extraction. PCA is also used as an exploratory data analysis tool. To better understand PCA let’s consider an […]

Amazon SageMaker provides a powerful platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models into a production environment on AWS. By combining this powerful platform with the serverless capabilities of Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon API Gateway, and AWS Lambda, it’s possible to transform an Amazon SageMaker endpoint into a web application that accepts […]

Structured and unstructured data are being generated at an unprecedented rate, so you need the right tools to help organize, search, and understand this vast amount of information, it’s challenging to make the data useful. This is especially true for unstructured data, and it’s estimated that over 80% of the data in enterprises is unstructured. Text analytics […]

We’re the AWS Marketing Data Science team. We use advanced analytical and machine learning (ML) techniques so we can share insights into business problems across the AWS customer lifecycle, such as ML-driven scoring of sales leads, ML-based targeting segments, and econometric models for downstream impact measurement. Within Amazon, each team operates independently and owns the […]

Today we are launching the training job cloning feature on the Amazon SageMaker console, which makes it much easier for you to create training jobs based on existing ones. When you use Amazon SageMaker, it’s common to run multiple training jobs using different training sets and identical configuration. It’s also common to adjust a specific […]

Once you have trained, optimized and deployed your machine learning (ML) model, the next challenge is to host it in such a way that consumers can easily invoke and get predictions from it. Many customers have consumers who are either external or internal to their organizations and want to use the model for predictions (ML […]

July, 2022: This post was reviewed and updated for relevancy and accuracy, with an updated AWS CloudFormation Template. December 2020: Post updated with changes required for Amazon SageMaker SDK v2 This blog post describes how to train, deploy, and retrieve predictions from a machine learning (ML) model using Amazon SageMaker and R. The model predicts abalone age […]
