Neural networks have proven effective at solving complex computer vision tasks such as object detection, image similarity, and classification. With the evolution of low-cost GPUs, the computational cost of building and deploying a neural network has drastically reduced. However, most techniques are designed to handle pixel resolutions commonly found in visual media. For example, typical […]

Medical data is highly contextual and heavily multi-modal, in which each data silo is treated separately. To bridge different data, a knowledge graph-based approach integrates data across domains and helps represent the complex representation of scientific knowledge more naturally. For example, three components of major electronic health records (EHR) are diagnosis codes, primary notes, and […]

Whether you’re watching a live broadcast of your favorite soccer team, having a video chat with a vendor, or calling your bank about a loan payment, streaming speech content is everywhere.

AWS is excited to announce that The Washington Post is integrating Amazon Polly to provide their readers with audio access to stories across The Post’s entire spectrum of web and mobile platforms, starting with technology stories. Amazon Polly is a service that turns text into lifelike speech, allowing you to create applications that talk, and build entirely new categories […]

A common problem in manufacturing is verifying that products meet quality standards. You can use manual inspection on a subset of the products, but it’s usually not scalable enough to meet demand as production grows. In this post, I go through the steps of creating an end-to-end machine vision solution that identifies visual anomalies in […]

Unstructured data belonging to the enterprise continues to grow, making it a challenge for customers and employees to get the information they need. Amazon Kendra is a highly accurate intelligent search service powered by machine learning (ML). It helps you easily find the content you’re looking for, even when it’s scattered across multiple locations and […]

In our previous post, we described how to translate documents using the real-time translation API from Amazon Translate and AWS Lambda. However, this method may not work for files that are too large. They may take too much time, triggering the 15-minute timeout limit of Lambda functions. One can use batch API, but this is available only in seven AWS Regions (as […]
