Getting started with Machine Learning on Amazon Web Services – Learning Machine Learning

There are many ways to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) for Machine Learning. Amazon have expended a lot of effort to build up their offerings in this space, but I'm going to take a step back and have you build up your own machine in the Amazon cloud that we can run experiments on. If you're not familiar with AWS, best way to think of it is a bunch of different computer technologies available to rent. You only pay for the amount of time you use these technologies, which makes it a great place to try out new stuff. You can simply rent an Amazon computer, equipped with a graphics card or FPGA if you like, and run your experiments for a couple of hours.
