AIM366: NEW LAUNCH! Amazon Elastic Inference: Reduce Learning Inference Cost Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Deploying deep learning applications at scale can be cost prohibitive due to the need for hardware acceleration to meet latency and throughput requirements of inference. Amazon Elastic Inference helps you tackle this problem by reducing the cost of inference by up to 75% with GPU-powered acceleration that can be right-sized to your application's inference needs. In this session, learn about how to deploy TensorFlow, Apache MXNet, and ONNX models with Amazon Elastic Inference on Amazon EC2 and Amazon SageMaker. Hear from Autodesk on the positive impact of AI on tools used to design and make a better world. Learn about how Autodesk and the Autodesk AI Lab are using Amazon Elastic Inference to make it cost efficient to run these tools at scale.

AIM367: NEW LAUNCH! Introducing AWS DeepRacer Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Developers start your engines! This breakout session will provide an introduction to the newly launched AWS DeepRacer. Learn about the basics of reinforcement learning, what's under the hood and your opportunities to experience AWS DeepRacer for yourself.

AIM369: NEW LAUNCH! Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth: Quality & Accurate Datasets Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Successful machine learning models are built on high-quality training datasets. Labeling raw data to get accurate training datasets involves a lot of time and effort because sophisticated models can require thousands of labeled examples to learn from, before they can produce good results. Typically, the task of labeling is distributed across a large number of humans, adding significant overhead and cost. Join us as we introduce Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth, a new service that provides an effective solution to reduce this cost and complexity using a machine learning technique called active learning. Active learning reduces the time and manual effort required to do data labeling, by continuously training machine learning algorithms based on labels from humans. By iterating through ambiguous data points, Ground Truth improves the ability to automatically label data resulting in high-quality training datasets.

AIM371: NEW LAUNCH! Machine Learning w/ Amazon SageMaker & AWS Marketplace Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Until now, many customers spent time creating or searching for the right algorithm and model when using Amazon SageMaker. In this session you'll learn how to build machine learning applications even faster by finding curated algorithms and model packages in AWS Marketplace and deploying them directly on Amazon SageMaker.

AIM386: Accelerate AI/ML Adoption with Intel Processors and C3IoT on AWS Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Today, organizations deploy more AI/ML workloads on AWS than on any other cloud platform. The cloud has removed many of the challenges associated with scalability, and it's never been easier or more cost effective to build custom and intelligent data models. In this session, learn how the C3 Platform leverages the full power of Intel Xeon Scalable processors on AWS to rapidly train, deploy, and operationalize AI/ML and big data applications like C3 Inventory Optimization and C3 Predictive Maintenance. In addition, a customer shares how these solutions helped achieve demonstrable value. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Intel.

AIM390: Machine Learning Your Eight-Year-Old Would Be Proud Of Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Come see examples of how Bebo uses Amazon SageMaker to power massive Fortnite tournaments every week. Traditional sports require referees, scorekeepers, field staff, and broadcast crews for every match. But esports are digital by nature. In this session, learn how machine learning and computer vision are enabling esports to occur at a massive scale. Learn how Bebo developed a model that can detect every victory and elimination, and can even prevent cheating on their tournament platform.

AIM396: ML Best Practices: Prepare Data, Build Models, and Manage Lifecycle Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

In this session, we cover best practices for enterprises that want to use powerful open-source technologies to simplify and scale their machine learning (ML) efforts. Learn how to use Apache Spark, the data processing and analytics engine commonly used at enterprises today, for data preparation as it unifies data at massive scale across various sources. We train models using TensorFlow, and we use MLflow to track experiment runs between multiple users within a reproducible environment. We then manage the deployment of models to production. We show you how MLflow can be used with any existing ML library and incrementally incorporated into an existing ML development process. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Databricks.

AIM401: Learning Applications Using TensorFlow, Advanced Microgrid Solutions Dec 01, 2018
