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.

Section 2: Building Applications with AWS AI Services

In this section, AWS offers a plethora of managed AI services that can be leveraged by applications without the efforts to gather and clean the training data, train and tune the custom models, and host and maintain the trained models. AWS has done the heavy lifting in these AI services. You will be able to design, develop, and deploy production-ready AI solutions quickly and bring them to market with speed. We will provide you not only with an in-depth understanding of these services, but also how best to integrate with them in the AI solutions for optimal speed of experimentation, architecture flexibility, and long-term maintenance.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 3, Detecting and Translating Text with Amazon Rekognition and Amazon Translate
  • Chapter 4, Performing Speech-to-Text and Vice Versa with Amazon...
