Intro It’s trendy right now for organizations to describe themselves as “outcome-oriented,” where members of the organization are accountable for the results of their work. The Production Infrastructure group at Palantir commits itself to being oriented around our users’ outcomes — but how does this translate into building good software? Our users’ outcomes are often dictated by …

Posted by Alexis Morvan and Trond Andersen, Research Scientists, Google Quantum AI When quantum computers were first proposed, they were hoped to be a way to better understand the quantum world. With a so-called “quantum simulator,” one could engineer a quantum computer to investigate how various quantum phenomena arise, including those that are intractable to …

Data preparation is a principal component of machine learning (ML) pipelines. In fact, it is estimated that data professionals spend about 80 percent of their time on data preparation. In this intensive competitive market, teams want to analyze data and extract more meaningful insights quickly. Customers are adopting more efficient and visual ways to build …

Across all industries, machine learning (ML) models are getting deeper, workflows are getting more complex, and workloads are operating at larger scales. Significant effort and resources are put into making these models more accurate since this investment directly results in better products and experiences. On the other hand, making these models run efficiently in production …

In this post, we show how to train, deploy, and predict natural disaster damage with Amazon SageMaker with geospatial capabilities. We use the new SageMaker geospatial capabilities to generate new inference data to test the model. Many government and humanitarian organizations need quick and accurate situational awareness when a disaster strikes. Knowing the severity, cause, …

Amazon SageMaker Autopilot automatically builds, trains, and tunes the best machine learning (ML) models based on your data, while allowing you to maintain full control and visibility. Autopilot can also deploy trained models to real-time inference endpoints automatically. If you have workloads with spiky or unpredictable traffic patterns that can tolerate cold starts, then deploying …

In previous blog post, we described an end-to-end identity verification solution in a single AWS Region. The solution uses the Amazon Rekognition APIs DetectFaces for face detection and CompareFaces for face comparison. We think of those APIs as stateless APIs because they don’t depend on an Amazon Rekognition face collection. They’re also idempotent, meaning repeated …
