AWS DeepRacer - the fastest way to get rolling with machine learning

#artificialintelligence

AWS DeepRacer is a 1/18th scale race car which gives you an interesting and fun way to get started with reinforcement learning (RL). RL is an advanced machine learning (ML) technique which takes a very different approach to training models than other machine learning methods. Its super power is that it learns very complex behaviors without requiring any labeled training data, and can make short term decisions while optimizing for a longer term goal. With AWS DeepRacer, you now have a way to get hands-on with RL, experiment, and learn through autonomous driving. You can get started with the virtual car and tracks in the cloud-based 3D racing simulator, and for a real-world experience, you can deploy your trained models onto AWS DeepRacer and race your friends, or take part in the global AWS DeepRacer League.

Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth AWS

#artificialintelligence

Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth helps you build highly accurate training datasets for machine learning quickly. SageMaker Ground Truth offers easy access to public and private human labelers and provides them with built-in workflows and interfaces for common labeling tasks. Additionally, SageMaker Ground Truth can lower your labeling costs by up to 70% using automatic labeling, which works by training Ground Truth from data labeled by humans so that the service learns to label data independently. Successful machine learning models are built on the shoulders of large volumes of high-quality training data. But, the process to create the training data necessary to build these models is often expensive, complicated, and time-consuming.


How Big Data, AI are changing the face of the retail sector

#artificialintelligence

The digital wave that we are witnessing today is keeping retailers on toes. Brands are increasingly focussing on product enhancement, greater visibility, personalisation and resolution to build customer engagement and experience. With a view to serve a wide range of customers from varied backgrounds, today's retailers are investing in modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), data analysis, Artificial Intelligence (AI), chatbots, and more to provide and give customers what they exactly want, so as to avoid any friction in the purchase journey's. Many retailers have already started using these technologies to remain competitive. To share insights and experiences, KPMG in India and CNBC-TV18 organised a panel discussion with experts Harsha Razdan, Partner and Head- Life Sciences and Consumer Markets, KPMG in India; Damodar Mall, CEO-Grocery Retail, Reliance Retail; Jamshed Daboo, Managing Director, Trent Hypermarket; Yash Mishra, Founder & CEO, VoxWeb; and Mukul Bafana, CEO, Arvind Internet.


AI's Disruption Of Data Management: Is A Different Approach Needed?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has crossed the chasm; more companies and more executives than ever before have come to realize the value that augmented intelligence offers their firms. These companies have actively moved to implement the technology in their organizations. In that respect, AI has achieved what many other technologies have tried -- but failed -- to do. It has disrupted the norm. Is This New Approach Really Needed?


Robot Process Automation (RPA): What is it and what does it mean to your business?

#artificialintelligence

Computers and automated systems continue to change the way we do business and what humankind is capable of. From the printing press to the assembly line to home PCs and mobile devices, technological developments which once would have been unthinkable have now become commonplace parts of the world and the workforce. RPA (Robot Process Automation) now joins the ranks as one of those technologies that might seem unthinkable even now, but will soon become commonplace. If you're looking for ways to streamline operations, to handle repetitive tasks that have thus far resisted automation for whatever reason, then RPA may be able to close that gap. RPA or Robot Process Automation uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate repetitive tasks in a way that mimics human behavior.
