To make machine learning (ML) more accessible, Amazon launched Amazon SageMaker Studio Lab at AWS re:Invent 2021. Today, tens of thousands of customers use it every day to learn and experiment with ML for free. We made it simple to get started with just an email address, without the need for installs, setups, credit cards, …
Contact centers today handle all types of sensitive information including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), Payment Card Industry (PCI) data, and other confidential information (CI) as part of their day-to-day operations. This information can make its way into call recordings, call logs, agent notes, and application logs. It may also be used …

*= Equal Contributions Recovering linear subspaces from data is a fundamental and important task in statistics and machine learning. Motivated by heterogeneity in Federated Learning settings, we study a basic formulation of this problem: the principal component analysis (PCA), with a focus on dealing with irregular noise. Our data come from users with user contributing …

Business analysts work with data and like to analyze, explore, and understand data to achieve effective business outcomes. To address business problems, they often rely on machine learning (ML) practitioners such as data scientists to assist with techniques such as utilizing ML to build models using existing data and generate predictions. However, it isn’t always …
This paper was accepted at the Workshop on Learning from Time Series for Health at NeurIPS 2022. Decoding information from bio-signals such as EEG, using machine learning has been a challenge due to the small data-sets and difficulty to obtain labels. We propose a reconstruction-based self-supervised learning model, the masked auto-encoder for EEG (MAEEG), for …

By Vadim Filanovsky and Harshad Sane In one of our previous blogposts, A Microscope on Microservices we outlined three broad domains of observability (or “levels of magnification,” as we referred to them) — Fleet-wide, Microservice and Instance. We described the tools and techniques we use to gain insight within each domain. There is, however, a class of problems …
