Run interactive pipelines at scale using Beam Notebooks

To all Apache Beam and Dataflow users: If you’ve experimented with Beam, prototyped a pipeline, or verified assumptions about a dataset, you might have used Beam Notebooks or other interactive alternatives such as Google Colab or Jupyter Notebooks. You might also have noticed a gap between running a small prototype pipeline in a notebook and …

How Tarteel Uses AI to Help Arabic Learners Perfect Their Pronunciation

There are some 1.8 billion Muslims, but only 16% or so of them speak Arabic, the language of the Quran. This is in part due to the fact that many Muslims struggle to find qualified instructors to give them feedback on their Quran recitation. Enter today’s guest and his company Tarteel, a member of the …

The Calibration Generalization Gap

This paper was accepted at the Workshop on Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification at ICML 2022. Calibration is a fundamental property of a good predictive model: it requires that the model predicts correctly in proportion to its confidence. Modern neural networks, however, provide no strong guarantees on their calibration— and can be either poorly calibrated or well-calibrated …

Use Amazon SageMaker Canvas for exploratory data analysis

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is a common task performed by business analysts to discover patterns, understand relationships, validate assumptions, and identify anomalies in their data. In machine learning (ML), it’s important to first understand the data and its relationships before getting into model building. Traditional ML development cycles can sometimes take months and require advanced …
