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.

Chapter 6: Training Natural Language Processing Models

In the previous chapter, you learned how to use SageMaker's built-in algorithms for computer vision (CV) to solve problems including image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation.

Natural language processing (NLP) is another very promising field in ML. Indeed, NLP algorithms have proven very effective in modeling language and extracting context from unstructured text. Thanks to this, applications such as search and translation applications and chatbots are now commonplace.

In this chapter, you will learn about built-in algorithms designed specifically for NLP tasks and we'll discuss the types of problems that you can solve with them. As in the previous chapter, we'll also cover in great detail how to prepare real-life datasets such as Amazon customer reviews. Of course, we'll train and deploy models too. We will cover all of this under the following topics:

  • Discovering the...
