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.

Summary

NLP is a very exciting topic. It's also a difficult one because of the complexity of language in general, and due to how much processing is required to build datasets. Having said that, the built-in algorithms in SageMaker will help you get good results out of the box. Training and deploying models are straightforward processes, which leaves you more time to explore, understand, and prepare data.

In this chapter, you learned about the BlazingText, LDA, and NTM algorithms. You also learned how to process datasets using popular open source tools such as nltk, spaCy, and gensim, and how to save them in the appropriate format. Finally, you learned how to use the SageMaker SDK to train and deploy models with all three algorithms, as well as how to interpret results. This concludes our exploration of built-in algorithms.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to use built-in ML frameworks such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Apache MXNet.
