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.

Preface

Summary

In this chapter, we started with understanding the basics of cloud computing, AWS, ML, and AI. We then explored S3, created buckets, and exported and imported data to and from S3. At the same time, we explored the AWS command line and its uses. Finally, we worked with the console interface of AWS Comprehend as an example of testing various ideas that relate to analyzing texts and documents.

In the next chapter, you will learn more about AWS AI services, serverless computing, and how to analyze text documents using natural language processing (NLP). Researching new AWS services is essential for discovering additional solutions to solve many machine learning problems that you are working on. Additionally, as you saw, AWS has multiple ways of interacting with its services to help test business ideas, evaluate AI/ML models, and do quick prototyping.
