Hands-On Artificial Intelligence on Amazon Web Services

Section 1: Introduction and Anatomy of a Modern AI Application

This section aims to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) and provide an overview of AI capabilities offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It will provide a step-by-step setup for AI development on AWS, including the AWS Software Development Kit (SDK) and Python development toolset. Additionally, it will give an introduction to the components and architecture of a modern AI application.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence on Amazon Web Services
  • Chapter 2, Anatomy of a Modern AI Application

Key benefits

  • Explore popular machine learning and deep learning services with their underlying algorithms
  • Discover readily available artificial intelligence(AI) APIs on AWS like Vision and Language Services
  • Design robust architectures to enable experimentation, extensibility, and maintainability of AI apps

Description

From data wrangling through to translating text, you can accomplish this and more with the artificial intelligence and machine learning services available on AWS. With this book, you’ll work through hands-on exercises and learn to use these services to solve real-world problems. You’ll even design, develop, monitor, and maintain machine and deep learning models on AWS. The book starts with an introduction to AI and its applications in different industries, along with an overview of AWS artificial intelligence and machine learning services. You’ll then get to grips with detecting and translating text with Amazon Rekognition and Amazon Translate. The book will assist you in performing speech-to-text with Amazon Transcribe and Amazon Polly. Later, you’ll discover the use of Amazon Comprehend for extracting information from text, and Amazon Lex for building voice chatbots. You will also understand the key capabilities of Amazon SageMaker such as wrangling big data, discovering topics in text collections, and classifying images. Finally, you’ll cover sales forecasting with deep learning and autoregression, before exploring the importance of a feedback loop in machine learning. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to implement AI in AWS through hands-on exercises that cover all aspects of the ML model life cycle.

Who is this book for?

This book is for data scientists, machine learning developers, deep learning researchers, and artificial intelligence enthusiasts who want to harness the power of AWS to implement powerful artificial intelligence solutions. A basic understanding of machine learning concepts is expected.

This is a fantastic book which has helped me a lot in my studies of machine learning on AWS. The book is detailed, easy to understand, and provides clear and comprehensive instruction on designing machine learning applications with AWS. I highly recommend this book to any data scientists, researchers, or developers looking to further their understanding in the area.

This is a great book covering different topics in Machine Learning and showing how one can use Amazon Web Services infrastructure and tools to deploy an end-to-end application. Starting from creating AWS account creation, it guides readers to implement and launch their ML application covering different topics such as object detection, text and speech processing. I highly recommend it.

Has very well written content for beginners starting using AWS for AI. It shows usage of Chalice to create and deploy application. It then has setting up and using the Amazon services Rekognition, Lex and Sage Maker. In lex it shows about creating and using Intents to develop a Chatbot. In sgaemaker it first goes about training with object2vec algorithm.Gives step by step guide to make your own models for texts as well as images. It then introduces using DeepAr service and XGboost algorithm which keeps the reader to try out more advanced concepts with the services.

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
