Discovering the built-in algorithms in Amazon SageMaker

Built-in algorithms are machine learning algorithms implemented, and in some cases invented, by Amazon (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/algos.html). They let you quickly train and deploy your own models without writing a line of machine learning code. Indeed, since the training and prediction algorithm is readily available, you don't have to worry about implementing it, and you can focus on the machine learning problem at hand. As usual, with SageMaker, infrastructure is fully managed, saving you even more time.

In this section, you'll learn about the built-in algorithms for traditional machine learning problems. Algorithms for computer vision and natural language processing will be covered in the next two chapters.

Supervised learning

Supervised learning focuses on problems that require a labeled dataset, such as regression, or classification:
