Part 3: How NatWest Group built auditable, reproducible, and explainable ML models with Amazon SageMaker
This is the third post of a four-part series detailing how NatWest Group, a major financial services institution, partnered with AWS Professional Services to build a new machine learning operations (MLOps) platform. This post is intended for data scientists, MLOps engineers, and data engineers who are interested in building ML pipeline templates with Amazon SageMaker. […]
Part 2: How NatWest Group built a secure, compliant, self-service MLOps platform using AWS Service Catalog and Amazon SageMaker
This is the second post of a four-part series detailing how NatWest Group, a major financial services institution, partnered with AWS Professional Services to build a new machine learning operations (MLOps) platform. In this post, we share how the NatWest Group utilized AWS to enable the self-service deployment of their standardized, secure, and compliant MLOps […]
Part 1: How NatWest Group built a scalable, secure, and sustainable MLOps platform
This is the first post of a four-part series detailing how NatWest Group, a major financial services institution, partnered with AWS to build a scalable, secure, and sustainable machine learning operations (MLOps) platform. This initial post provides an overview of the AWS and NatWest Group joint team implemented Amazon SageMaker Studio as the standard for […]
Accelerate data preparation with data quality and insights in Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler
Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler is a new capability of Amazon SageMaker that helps data scientists and data engineers quickly and easily prepare data for machine learning (ML) applications using a visual interface. It contains over 300 built-in data transformations so you can quickly normalize, transform, and combine features without having to write any code. Today, […]
Host Hugging Face transformer models using Amazon SageMaker Serverless Inference
The last few years have seen rapid growth in the field of natural language processing (NLP) using transformer deep learning architectures. With its Transformers open-source library and machine learning (ML) platform, Hugging Face makes transfer learning and the latest transformer models accessible to the global AI community. This can reduce the time needed for data […]
Secure AWS CodeArtifact access for isolated Amazon SageMaker notebook instances
AWS CodeArtifact allows developers to connect internal code repositories to upstream code repositories like Pypi, Maven, or NPM. AWS CodeArtifact is a powerful addition to CI/CD workflows on AWS, but it is similarly effective for code-bases hosted on a Jupyter notebook. This is a common development paradigm for Machine Learning developers that build and train […]
Fine-tune and deploy a Wav2Vec2 model for speech recognition with Hugging Face and Amazon SageMaker
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a commonly used machine learning (ML) technology in our daily lives and business scenarios. Applications such as voice-controlled assistants like Alexa and Siri, and voice-to-text applications like automatic subtitling for videos and transcribing meetings, are all powered by this technology. These applications take audio clips as input and convert speech […]
Control access to Amazon SageMaker Feature Store offline using AWS Lake Formation
This post was last reviewed and updated June, 2022 with revised feature groups (tables) and features (columns) permissions. You can establish feature stores to provide a central repository for machine learning (ML) features that can be shared with data science teams across your organization for training, batch scoring, and real-time inference. Data science teams can […]
Customize the Amazon SageMaker XGBoost algorithm container
The built-in Amazon SageMaker XGBoost algorithm provides a managed container to run the popular XGBoost machine learning (ML) framework, with added convenience of supporting advanced training or inference features like distributed training, dataset sharding for large-scale datasets, A/B model testing, or multi-model inference endpoints. You can also extend this powerful algorithm to accommodate different requirements. […]
Detect adversarial inputs using Amazon SageMaker Model Monitor and Amazon SageMaker Debugger
Research over the past few years has shown that machine learning (ML) models are vulnerable to adversarial inputs, where an adversary can craft inputs to strategically alter the model’s output (in image classification, speech recognition, or fraud detection). For example, imagine you have deployed a model that identifies your employees based on images of their […]
