AWS Amplify Framework Update – Quickly Add Machine Learning Capabilities to Your Web and Mobile Apps
At AWS, we want to put machine learning in the hands of every developer. For example, we have pre-trained AI services for areas such as computer vision and language that you can use without any expertise in machine learning. Today we are making another step in that direction with the addition of a new Predictions category to the Amplify Framework. In […]
AWS AI-Driven Social Media Dashboard solution architecture
This solution deploys an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance running in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) that ingests tweets from Twitter. An Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream loads the streaming tweets into the raw prefix in the solution’s Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. Amazon S3 invokes an AWS Lambda function to analyze the raw tweets using Amazon Translate to translate non-English tweets […]
Amazon Polly Introduces Neural Text-To-Speech and Newscaster Style
From Robbie the Robot to Jarvis, science fiction writers have long understood how important it was for an artificial being to sound as lifelike as possible. Speech is central to human interaction, and beyond words, it helps us express feelings and emotions: who can forget HAL 9000’s haunting final scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey? In the real world, things are […]
Intro to Pytorch with W&B
In this tutorial we’ll walk through a simple convolutional neural network to classify the images in CIFAR10 using PyTorch. We’ll also set up Weights & Biases to log models metrics, inspect performance and share findings about the best architecture for the network. In this example we’re using Google Colab as a convenient hosted environment, but you can run your […]
