Getting Started with Amazon SageMaker Studio

By: Michael Hsieh

Overview of this book

Amazon SageMaker Studio is the first integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML) and is designed to integrate ML workflows: data preparation, feature engineering, statistical bias detection, automated machine learning (AutoML), training, hosting, ML explainability, monitoring, and MLOps in one environment. In this book, you'll start by exploring the features available in Amazon SageMaker Studio to analyze data, develop ML models, and productionize models to meet your goals. As you progress, you will learn how these features work together to address common challenges when building ML models in production. After that, you'll understand how to effectively scale and operationalize the ML life cycle using SageMaker Studio. By the end of this book, you'll have learned ML best practices regarding Amazon SageMaker Studio, as well as being able to improve productivity in the ML development life cycle and build and deploy models easily for your ML use cases.

Training models with SageMaker's built-in algorithms

When you want to build an ML model from a notebook in SageMaker Studio for your ML use case and data, one of the easiest approaches is to use one of SageMaker's built-in algorithms. There are two advantages of using built-in algorithms:

  • The built-in algorithms do not require you to write any sophisticated ML code. You only need to provide your data, make sure the data format matches the algorithms' requirements, and specify the hyperparameters and compute resources.
  • The built-in algorithms are optimized for AWS compute infrastructure and are scalable out of the box. It is easy to perform distributed training across multiple compute instances and/or enable GPU support to speed up training time.

SageMaker's built-in algorithm suite offers algorithms that are suitable for the most common ML use cases. There are algorithms for the following categories: supervised learning, unsupervised learning...
