Overview of this book

Are you fascinated with applications like Alexa and Siri and how they accurately process information within seconds before returning accurate results? Are you looking for a practical guide that will teach you how to build intelligent applications that can revolutionize the world of artificial intelligence? The Applied AI and NLP Workshop will take you on a practical journey where you will learn how to build artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) applications with Amazon Web services (AWS). Starting with an introduction to AI and machine learning, this book will explain how Amazon S3, or Amazon Simple Storage Service, works. You’ll then integrate AI with AWS to build serverless services and use Amazon’s NLP service Comprehend to perform text analysis on a document. As you advance, the book will help you get to grips with topic modeling to extract and analyze common themes on a set of documents with unknown topics. You’ll also work with Amazon Lex to create and customize a chatbot for task automation and use Amazon Rekognition for detecting objects, scenes, and text in images. By the end of The Applied AI and NLP Workshop, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to build scalable intelligent applications with AWS.

1. An Introduction to AWS

Overview

In this chapter, we start off with the basic concepts of cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML). These are the foundational elements that we will be working with throughout this book. The guided instructions in this chapter will equip you with the skills necessary to store and retrieve data with Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) while you learn the core concepts of this technology. Next, you will apply your S3 knowledge by importing and exporting text data via the management console and the Command Line Interface (CLI). By the end of the chapter, you will be able to confidently work with the management console and the CLI so that you can test AI and ML services.
