Machine Learning with Amazon SageMaker Cookbook

By: Joshua Arvin Lat

Overview of this book

Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed machine learning (ML) service that helps data scientists and ML practitioners manage ML experiments. In this book, you'll use the different capabilities and features of Amazon SageMaker to solve relevant data science and ML problems. This step-by-step guide features 80 proven recipes designed to give you the hands-on machine learning experience needed to contribute to real-world experiments and projects. You'll cover the algorithms and techniques that are commonly used when training and deploying NLP, time series forecasting, and computer vision models to solve ML problems. You'll explore various solutions for working with deep learning libraries and frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Hugging Face Transformers in Amazon SageMaker. You'll also learn how to use SageMaker Clarify, SageMaker Model Monitor, SageMaker Debugger, and SageMaker Experiments to debug, manage, and monitor multiple ML experiments and deployments. Moreover, you'll have a better understanding of how SageMaker Feature Store, Autopilot, and Pipelines can meet the specific needs of data science teams. By the end of this book, you'll be able to combine the different solutions you've learned as building blocks to solve real-world ML problems.

Launching an Amazon SageMaker Notebook Instance

In this recipe, we will set up an Amazon SageMaker notebook instance where we can run our ML experiments using Jupyter Notebooks. The SageMaker notebook instance is a fully managed ML compute instance running a collection of tools and applications such as the Jupyter Notebook app. With several tools and libraries already installed and ready to use, we can go straight into working on our ML experiments without having to worry about the installation and maintenance work.

Important note

Take note that we can also perform our ML experiments in Amazon SageMaker Studio. We will take a closer look at Amazon SageMaker Studio in Chapter 6, Automated Machine Learning in Amazon SageMaker. From our end, it is critical to know how to use both of them as there will be features and capabilities such as local mode, which is supported in notebook instances, but not supported in Amazon SageMaker Studio.
