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.

Discovering the built-in algorithms in Amazon SageMaker

Built-in algorithms are machine learning algorithms implemented, and in some cases invented, by Amazon (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/algos.html). They let you quickly train and deploy your own models without writing a line of machine learning code. Indeed, since the training and prediction code is readily available, you don't have to worry about implementing it, and you can focus on the machine learning problem at hand. As usual with SageMaker, infrastructure is fully managed, saving you even more time.

In this section, you'll learn about the built-in algorithms for traditional machine learning problems. Algorithms for computer vision and natural language processing will be covered in the next two chapters.

Supervised learning

Supervised learning focuses on problems that require a labeled dataset, such as regression or classification:
