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 NLP built-in algorithms in Amazon SageMaker

SageMaker includes four NLP algorithms, enabling supervised learning (SL) and unsupervised learning (UL) scenarios. In this section, you'll learn about these algorithms, what kinds of problems they solve, and what their training scenarios are. Let's have a look at an overview of the algorithms we'll be discussing:

  • BlazingText builds text classification models (SL) or computes word vectors (UL). BlazingText is an Amazon-invented algorithm.
  • LDA builds UL models that group a collection of text documents into topics. This technique is called topic modeling.
  • NTM is another topic modeling algorithm based on neural networks, and it gives you more insight into how topics are built.
  • Sequence to Sequence (seq2seq) builds deep learning (DL) models, predicting a sequence of output tokens from a sequence of input tokens.
