Natural Language Processing (NLP) is widely used to supply summarization ability from long context to structured information. However, extracting structured knowledge from scientific text by NLP models remains a challenge because of its domain-specific nature to complex data preprocessing and the granularity of multi-layered device-level information. To address this, we introduce ByteScience, a non-profit cloud-based auto fine-tuned Large Language Model (LLM) platform, which is designed to extract structured scientific data and synthesize new scientific knowledge from vast scientific corpora. The platform capitalizes on DARWIN, an open-source, fine-tuned LLM dedicated to natural science. The platform was built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and provides an automated, user-friendly workflow for custom model development and data extraction. The platform achieves remarkable accuracy with only a small amount of well-annotated articles. This innovative tool streamlines the transition from the science literature to structured knowledge and data and benefits the advancements in natural informatics.

Deploying models at scale can be a cumbersome task for many data scientists and machine learning engineers. However, Amazon SageMaker endpoints provide a simple solution for deploying and scaling your machine learning (ML) model inferences. Our last blog post and GitHub repo on hosting a YOLOv5 TensorFlowModel on Amazon SageMaker Endpoints sparked a lot of interest from our readers. Many readers were also interested in learning how to host the YOLOv5 model using PyTorch. To address this issue and with the recent release of the YOLOv8 model from Ultralytics, we present this post on how to host a YOLOv8 PyTorchModel on SageMaker endpoints.

Amazon Lookout for Vision provides a machine learning (ML)-based anomaly detection service to identify normal images (i.e., images of objects without defects) vs anomalous images (i.e., images of objects with defects), types of anomalies (e.g., missing piece), and the location of these anomalies. Therefore, Lookout for Vision is popular among customers that look for automated […]

According to Gartner, hyperautomation is the number one trend in 2022 and will continue advancing in future. One of the main barriers to hyperautomation is in areas where we're still struggling to reduce human involvement. Intelligent systems have a hard time matching human visual recognition abilities, despite great advancements in deep learning in computer vision. This is mainly due to the lack of annotated data (or when data is sparse) and in areas such as quality control, where trained human eyes still dominate. Another reason is the feasibility of human access in all areas of the product supply chain, such as quality control inspection on the production line.

AWS customers are relying on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to design, develop, and manage their cloud infrastructure. IaC ensures that customer infrastructure and services are consistent, scalable, and reproducible, while being able to follow best practices in the area of development operations (DevOps). One possible approach to manage AWS infrastructure and services with IaC is Terraform, which allows developers to organize their infrastructure in reusable code modules. This aspect is increasingly gaining importance in the area of machine learning (ML). Developing and managing ML pipelines, including training and inference with Terraform as IaC, lets you easily scale for multiple ML use cases or Regions without having to develop the infrastructure from scratch.

Deployment on SageMaker is straightforward because it uses the SageMaker Hugging Face Inference Toolkit, an open-source library for serving Transformers models on SageMaker. We normally don't even have to provide an inference script; the toolkit takes care of that. In that case, however, the toolkit utilizes the Pipeline API again, and as we discussed in section 2, the Pipeline API doesn't allow us to use advanced text generation techniques such as beam search and sampling. To avoid this limitation, we provide our custom inference script. For the first evaluation of our newly trained model, we use the same parameters as in section 2 with the zero-shot model to generate the candidate summaries.

We faced some difficulties with Streamlit.io You can see our SageMaker implementation here. The purpose of this article is to provide a tutorial with examples showing how to deploy ML models to AWS SageMaker. This tutorial covers only deploying ML models that are not trained in SageMaker. It is more complicated to deploy your ML models that are trained outside of AWS SageMaker than training the models and deploy end-to-end within SageMaker.

Product lifecycles often require infrequent machine learning inference. Beta releases, for example, may only receive a small amount of traffic. Hosting model inference in these scenarios can be expensive: model inference servers are always on even if no inference requests are being processed. A good solution to underutilization is serverless offerings such as AWS Lambda. These let you run code on-demand but only pay for the CPU time you use.

The ability to scale machine learning operations (MLOps) at an enterprise is quickly becoming a competitive advantage in the modern economy. When firms started dabbling in ML, only the highest priority use cases were the focus. Businesses are now demanding more from ML practitioners: more intelligent features, delivered faster, and continually maintained over time. An effective MLOps strategy requires a unified platform that can orchestrate and automate complex data processing and ML tasks, and integrates with the latest tooling to best complete those tasks. This post demonstrates the value of using Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) to orchestrate an ML pipeline using the popular XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) algorithm.

Hugging Face is the technology startup, with an active open-source community, that drove the worldwide adoption of transformer-based models thanks to its eponymous Transformers library. Earlier this year, Hugging Face and AWS collaborated to enable you to train and deploy over 10,000 pre-trained models on Amazon SageMaker. For more information on training Hugging Face models at scale on SageMaker, refer to AWS and Hugging Face collaborate to simplify and accelerate adoption of Natural Language Processing models and the sample notebooks. In this post, we discuss different methods to create a SageMaker endpoint for a Hugging Face model. If you're unfamiliar with transformer-based models and their place in the natural language processing (NLP) landscape, here is an overview.
