AWS adds BYO streaming algorithms to SageMaker machine learning platform ZDNet

The internet of things embeds intelligence into business processes to let us measure and manage the enterprise in ways that were never possible before. Amazon is enabling enterprises to bring your own algorithms to stream on its SageMaker machine learning service in a move designed to increase training speeds. Those algorithms will initially run on TensorFlow. Dr. Matt Wood, director of machine learning at AWS, said at the AWS Summit in New York that SageMaker is bringing streaming algorithms as well as batch job improvements to SageMaker. "We see a dramatic decrease in time to train models and put them into production," said Wood.
