Amazon unveils dozens of machine learning tools

Calling machine learning "one of the most disruptive technologies we will ever encounter in our generation," Amazon Machine Learning Vice President Swami Sivasubramanian introduced a bevy of new tools Tuesday at AWS re:Invent. There will be nine new Amazon SageMaker capabilities, a HIPAA-eligible service for healthcare and life science organizations called Amazon HealthLake, and general availability for Amazon Neptune ML, he said. Sivasubramanian also announced previews for Amazon Redshift ML and Amazon Lookout for Metrics. "More than 100,000 customers use AWS for machine learning today. These tools are no longer a niche investment. Our customers are applying machine learning to the core of their business. Our customers are innovating in every industry," Sivasubramanian said.
