By: Subhashini Tripuraneni, Charles Song

Overview of this book

From data wrangling through to translating text, you can accomplish this and more with the artificial intelligence and machine learning services available on AWS. With this book, you’ll work through hands-on exercises and learn to use these services to solve real-world problems. You’ll even design, develop, monitor, and maintain machine and deep learning models on AWS. The book starts with an introduction to AI and its applications in different industries, along with an overview of AWS artificial intelligence and machine learning services. You’ll then get to grips with detecting and translating text with Amazon Rekognition and Amazon Translate. The book will assist you in performing speech-to-text with Amazon Transcribe and Amazon Polly. Later, you’ll discover the use of Amazon Comprehend for extracting information from text, and Amazon Lex for building voice chatbots. You will also understand the key capabilities of Amazon SageMaker such as wrangling big data, discovering topics in text collections, and classifying images. Finally, you’ll cover sales forecasting with deep learning and autoregression, before exploring the importance of a feedback loop in machine learning. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to implement AI in AWS through hands-on exercises that cover all aspects of the ML model life cycle.

Understanding the success factors of artificial intelligence applications

Let's talk about what makes an AI application successful, and really, what makes any software application successful. There are two main factors that determine application success:

  • The first factor is whether the application is a solution that actually solves a particular problem.
  • The second factor is how well the application is implemented to deliver the solution to the problem.

Basically, we are talking about what to build and how to build it. Both of these factors are difficult to get right and for the majority of cases, both of them are required to make an application successful.

The fact is, deciding on precisely what to build is the more important factor of the two. If we get this factor wrong, we will have a flawed product that will not deliver a viable solution to the problem. It will not...
