Learn Amazon SageMaker - Second Edition

By: Julien Simon

Overview of this book

Amazon SageMaker enables you to quickly build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale without managing any infrastructure. It helps you focus on the machine learning problem at hand and deploy high-quality models by eliminating the heavy lifting typically involved in each step of the ML process. This second edition will help data scientists and ML developers to explore new features such as SageMaker Data Wrangler, Pipelines, Clarify, Feature Store, and much more. You'll start by learning how to use various capabilities of SageMaker as a single toolset to solve ML challenges and progress to cover features such as AutoML, built-in algorithms and frameworks, and writing your own code and algorithms to build ML models. The book will then show you how to integrate Amazon SageMaker with popular deep learning libraries, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, to extend the capabilities of existing models. You'll also see how automating your workflows can help you get to production faster with minimum effort and at a lower cost. Finally, you'll explore SageMaker Debugger and SageMaker Model Monitor to detect quality issues in training and production. By the end of this Amazon book, you'll be able to use Amazon SageMaker on the full spectrum of ML workflows, from experimentation, training, and monitoring to scaling, deployment, and automation.

Compiling models with Amazon SageMaker Neo

Embedded software developers have long learned how to write highly optimized code that both runs fast and uses hardware resources frugally. In theory, the same techniques could also be applied to optimize machine learning predictions. In practice, this is a daunting task given the complexity of machine learning libraries and models.

This is the problem that Amazon SageMaker Neo aims to solve.

Understanding Amazon SageMaker Neo

Amazon Neo has two components: a model compiler that optimizes models for the underlying hardware, and a small runtime named Deep Learning Runtime (DLR), used to load optimized models and run predictions (https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/neo).

Amazon SageMaker Neo can compile models trained with the following:

  • Two built-in algorithms: XGBoost and Image Classification.
  • Built-in frameworks: TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Apache MXNet, as well as models in ONNX format. Many operators are supported, and...
