The Applied AI and Natural Language Processing Workshop

By: Krishna Sankar, Jeffrey Jackovich, Ruze Richards

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, you learned how to use various features of the Amazon Rekognition service and applied this to images. First, you used the service to recognize objects and scenes in images. Next, you moderated images that might have objectionable content by using Rekognition to recognize the objectionable content in the images.

You were able to analyze faces with Rekognition and were also able to identify their gender, age range, whether they were smiling, and whether they were wearing glasses.

You also recognized celebrities and famous people with the service and compared faces in different images to see whether they were the same. Finally, you were able to extract text that was displayed in images.

With this, we have come to the end of this chapter and this book. We hope it was an interesting journey discovering the enormous capabilities of serverless computing, Amazon AI and ML services, text analysis, image analysis, and so forth.
