Effective Amazon Machine Learning

By: Alexis Perrier

Overview of this book

Predictive analytics is a complex domain requiring coding skills, an understanding of the mathematical concepts underpinning machine learning algorithms, and the ability to create compelling data visualizations. Following AWS simplifying Machine learning, this book will help you bring predictive analytics projects to fruition in three easy steps: data preparation, model tuning, and model selection. This book will introduce you to the Amazon Machine Learning platform and will implement core data science concepts such as classification, regression, regularization, overfitting, model selection, and evaluation. Furthermore, you will learn to leverage the Amazon Web Service (AWS) ecosystem for extended access to data sources, implement realtime predictions, and run Amazon Machine Learning projects via the command line and the Python SDK. Towards the end of the book, you will also learn how to apply these services to other problems, such as text mining, and to more complex datasets.

Preface

Chapter 9. Building a Streaming Data Analysis Pipeline

In this final chapter of the book, we will build an end-to-end streaming data pipeline that integrates Amazon ML within the Kinesis Firehose, AWS Lambda, and Redshift pipeline. We extend the Amazon ML capabilities by integrating it with these other AWS data services to implement real-time Tweet classification. 

In a second part of the chapter, we show how to address problems beyond a simple regression and classification and use Amazon ML for Named Entity Recognition and content-based recommender systems. 

The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:

  • Training a twitter classification model 
  • Streaming data with Kinesis
  • Storing with Redshift
  • Using AWS Lambda for processing
  • Named entity recognition and recommender systems

In the chapter's conclusion, we will summarize Amazon ML's strengths and weaknesses.
