Book Description

Amazon SageMaker enables you to quickly build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models at scale, without managing any infrastructure. It helps you focus on the ML problem at hand and deploy high-quality models by removing the heavy lifting typically involved in each step of the ML process. This book is a comprehensive guide for data scientists and ML developers who want to learn the ins and outs of Amazon SageMaker.

Youll understand how to use various modules of SageMaker as a single toolset to solve the challenges faced in ML. As you progress, youll cover features such as AutoML, built-in algorithms and frameworks, and the option for writing your own code and algorithms to build ML models. Later, the book will show you how to integrate Amazon SageMaker with popular deep learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch to increase the capabilities of existing models. Youll also learn to get the models to production faster with minimum effort and at a lower cost. Finally, youll explore how to use Amazon SageMaker Debugger to analyze, detect, and highlight problems to understand the current model state and improve model accuracy.

By the end of this Amazon book, youll be able to use Amazon SageMaker on the full spectrum of ML workflows, from experimentation, training, and monitoring to scaling, deployment, and automation.

What you will learn

• Create and automate end-to-end machine learning workflows on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Become well-versed with data annotation and preparation techniques
• Use AutoML features to build and train machine learning models with AutoPilot
• Create models using built-in algorithms and frameworks and your own code
• Train computer vision and NLP models using real-world examples
• Cover training techniques for scaling, model optimization, model debugging, and cost optimization
• Automate deployment tasks in a variety of configurations using SDK and several automation tools

Who this book is for

This book is for software engineers, machine learning developers, data scientists, and AWS users who are new to using Amazon SageMaker and want to build high-quality machine learning models without worrying about infrastructure. Knowledge of AWS basics is required to grasp the concepts covered in this book more effectively. Some understanding of machine learning concepts and the Python programming language will also be beneficial.
