Women in Big Data - AWS AI/ML Workshop
Amazon has a long and rich heritage of Machine learning and Deep Learning Solutions such as personalized shopping recommendations, automated fulfillment and inventory management, robotic drones for fast delivery, a checkout-free computer vision retail experience with Amazon Go, voice interactions with Alexa and a lot more. And now, AWS is the center of gravity for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning because of the massive volume of data stored and processed on our Big Data platform. By lowering the barriers for AI/ML workloads with an innovative suite of products and services, AWS enables you to easily build machine learning powered smart applications to meet complex business needs.
We will kick-off this workshop with an overview of the AWS AI/ML platform, demonstrating the ease of use and the art of the possible for solving a real-world scenario, followed by an AI/ML case study. We will then have two tracks with multiple hands-on sessions for building your own smart applications using AWS AI driven services such as Amazon Lex, Amazon Polly, Amazon Rekognition, as well as Amazon SageMaker, an end to end ML platform that accelerates the process of building, training, and deploying machine learning models at any scale. We will conclude the day with a panel discussion featuring guest speakers from NBCU, Munich RE, Slalom, and AWS followed by a networking reception.
