Last week the annual AWS technology conference re:Invent 2020 kicked off virtually. Typically a week-long physical conference held in Las Vegas this year, with the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, the conference moved to a virtual 3-week event. If you have paid attention to re:Invent, the past couple of years, machine learning…

NumPy or Numerical Python is an open-source Python library that makes it easy to complex numerical operations. Working with machine learning and deep learning applications involve complex numerical operations with large datasets. NumPy makes implementing these operations relatively simple and effective when compared to their pure Python implementation. At its…

Traditionally recurrent neural networks and their variants have been used extensively for Natural Language Processing problems. In recent years, transformers have outperformed most RNN models. Before looking at transformers, let's revisit recurrent neural networks, how they work, and where they fall behind. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) work with sequential data…

AutoGluon and AutoML AutoGluon is an open-source AutoML framework built by AWS, that enables easy to use and easy to extend AutoML. It enables you to achieve a state of art predictive accuracy by utilizing state of the art deep learning techniques without expertise. It is also a quick way to prototype what…

Amazon SageMaker is beyond just managed Jupyter notebooks, it is a fully managed service that enables you to build, train, optimize and deploy machine learning models. A common misconception, specially when you are starting out with SageMaker is that, in order to use these services, you need a SageMaker Notebook…
