Amazon Forecast Weather Index – automatically include local weather to increase your forecasting model accuracy
We’re excited to announce the Amazon Forecast Weather Index, which can increase your forecasting accuracy by automatically including local weather information in your demand forecasts with one click and at no extra cost. Weather conditions influence consumer demand patterns, product merchandizing decisions, staffing requirements, and energy consumption needs. However, acquiring, cleaning, and effectively using live […]
New Amazon SageMaker Neo features to run more models faster and more efficiently on more hardware platforms
Amazon SageMaker Neo enables developers to train machine learning (ML) models once and optimize them to run on any Amazon SageMaker endpoints in the cloud and supported devices at the edge. Since Neo was first announced at re:Invent 2018, we have been continuously working with the Neo-AI open-source communities and several hardware partners to increase […]
Model dynamism Support in Amazon SageMaker Neo
Amazon SageMaker Neo was launched at AWS re:Invent 2018. It made notable performance improvement on models with statically known input and output data shapes, typically image classification models. These models are usually composed of a stack of blocks that contain compute-intensive operators, such as convolution and matrix multiplication. Neo applies a series of optimizations to […]
Amazon SageMaker Neo makes it easier to get faster inference for more ML models with NVIDIA TensorRT
Amazon SageMaker Neo now uses the NVIDIA TensorRT acceleration library to increase the speedup of machine learning (ML) models on NVIDIA Jetson devices at the edge and AWS g4dn and p3 instances in the AWS Cloud. Neo compiles models from TensorFlow, TFLite, MXNet, PyTorch, ONNX, and DarkNet to make optimal use of NVIDIA GPUs, providing […]
Optimizing ML models for iOS and MacOS devices with Amazon SageMaker Neo and Core ML
Core ML is a machine learning (ML) model format created and supported by Apple that compiles, deploys, and runs on Apple devices. Developers who train their models in popular frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch convert models to Core ML format to deploy them on Apple devices. AWS has automated the model conversion to Core […]
Speeding up TensorFlow, MXNet, and PyTorch inference with Amazon SageMaker Neo
Various machine learning (ML) optimizations are possible at every stage of the flow during or after training. Model compiling is one optimization that creates a more efficient implementation of a trained model. In 2018, we launched Amazon SageMaker Neo to compile machine learning models for many frameworks and many platforms. We created the ML compiler […]
Predicting soccer goals in near real time using computer vision
In a soccer game, fans get excited seeing a player sprint down the sideline during a counterattack or when a team is controlling the ball in the 18-yard box because those actions could lead to goals. However, it is difficult for human eyes to fully capture such fast movements, let alone predict goals. With machine […]
Incremental learning: Optimizing search relevance at scale using machine learning
Amazon Kendra is releasing incremental learning to automatically improve search relevance and make sure you can continuously find the information you’re looking for, particularly when search patterns and document trends change over time. Data proliferation is real, and it’s growing. In fact, International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that 80% of all data will be unstructured […]
Getting started with the Amazon Kendra Google Drive connector
Amazon Kendra is a highly accurate and easy-to-use intelligent search service powered by machine learning (ML). To simplify the process of connecting data sources to your index, Amazon Kendra offers several native data source connectors to help get your documents easily ingested. For many organizations, Google Drive is a core part of their productivity suite, […]
