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.

Chapter 6: Detecting ML Bias and Explaining Models with SageMaker Clarify

Machine learning (ML) models are increasingly being used to help make business decisions across industries, such as in financial services, healthcare, education, and human resources (HR), thanks to the automation ML provides, with improved accuracy over humans. However, ML models are never perfect. They can make poor decisions—even unfair ones if not trained and evaluated carefully. An ML model can be biased in a way that hurts disadvantaged groups. Having an ability to understand bias in data and ML models during the ML life cycle is critical for creating a socially fair ML model. SageMaker Clarify computes ML biases in datasets and in ML models to help you gain an understanding of the limitation of ML models so that you can take appropriate action to mitigate these biases.

ML models have long been considered as black box operations because it is rather difficult to see how a prediction is made. SageMaker...
