Amazon Forecast

Amazon Forecast is a fully managed service that uses ML to deliver highly accurate forecasts.

Companies today use everything from simple spreadsheets to complex financial planning software to attempt to accurately forecast future business outcomes such as product demand, resource needs, or financial performance. These tools build forecasts by looking at a historical series of data, which is called time series data. For example, such tools may try to predict the future sales of a raincoat by looking only at its previous sales data with the underlying assumption that the future is determined by the past. This approach can struggle to produce accurate forecasts for large sets of data that have irregular trends. Also, it fails to easily combine data series that change over time (such as price, discounts, web traffic, and number of employees) with relevant independent variables such as product features and store locations.

Based on the same technology used at Amazon.com, Amazon Forecast uses ML to combine time series data with additional variables to build forecasts. Amazon Forecast requires no ML experience to get started. You only need to provide historical data, plus any additional data that you believe may impact your forecasts. For example, the demand for a particular color of a shirt may change with the seasons and store location. This complex relationship is hard to determine on its own, but ML is ideally suited to recognize it. Once you provide your data, Amazon Forecast will automatically examine it, identify what is meaningful, and produce a forecasting model capable of making predictions that are up to 50% more accurate than looking at time series data alone.

Amazon Forecast is a fully managed service, so there are no servers to provision, and no ML models to build, train, or deploy. You pay only for what you use, and there are no minimum fees and no upfront commitments.

AWS DeepComposer

AWS DeepComposer is the world’s first musical keyboard powered by ML to enable developers of all skill levels to learn Generative AI while creating original music outputs. DeepComposer consists of a USB keyboard that connects to the developer’s computer, and the DeepComposer service, accessed through the AWS Management Console. DeepComposer includes tutorials, sample code, and training data that can be used to start building generative models.

AWS DeepRacer

AWS DeepRacer is a 1/18th scale race car which gives you an interesting and fun way to get started with reinforcement learning (RL). RL is an advanced ML technique which takes a very different approach to training models than other ML methods. Its superpower is that it learns very complex behaviors without requiring any labeled training data, and can make short term decisions while optimizing for a longer term goal.

With AWS DeepRacer, you now have a way to get hands-on with RL, experiment, and learn through autonomous driving. You can get started with the virtual car and tracks in the cloud-based 3D racing simulator, and for a real-world experience, you can deploy your trained models onto AWS DeepRacer and race your friends, or take part in the global AWS DeepRacer League. Developers, the race is on.

AWS HealthLake

AWS HealthLake is a HIPAA-eligible service that healthcare providers, health insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies can use to store, transform, query, and analyze large-scale health data.

Health data is frequently incomplete and inconsistent. It's also often unstructured, with information contained in clinical notes, lab reports, insurance claims, medical images, recorded conversations, and time-series data (for example, heart ECG or brain EEG traces).

Healthcare providers can use HealthLake to store, transform, query, and analyze data in the AWS Cloud. Using the HealthLake integrated medical natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, you can analyze unstructured clinical text from diverse sources. HealthLake transforms unstructured data using natural language processing models, and provides powerful query and search capabilities. You can use HealthLake to organize, index, and structure patient information in a secure, compliant, and auditable manner.

AWS HealthScribe

AWS HealthScribe is a HIPAA-eligible service that allows healthcare software vendors to automatically generate clinical notes by analyzing patient-clinician conversations. AWS HealthScribe combines speech recognition with generative AI to reduce the burden of clinical documentation by transcribing conversations and quickly producing clinical notes. Conversations are segmented to identify the speaker roles for patients and clinicians, extract medical terms, and generate preliminary clinical notes. To protect sensitive patient data, security and privacy are built-in to ensure that the input audio and the output text are not retained in AWS HealthScribe.

AWS Panorama

AWS Panorama is a collection of ML devices and software development kit (SDK) that brings computer vision (CV) to on-premises internet protocol (IP) cameras. With AWS Panorama, you can automate tasks that have traditionally required human inspection to improve visibility into potential issues.

Computer vision can automate visual inspection for tasks such as tracking assets to optimize supply chain operations, monitoring traffic lanes to optimize traffic management, or detecting anomalies to evaluate manufacturing quality. In environments with limited network bandwidth however, or for companies with data governance rules that require on-premises processing and storage of video, computer vision in the cloud can be difficult or impossible to implement. AWS Panorama is an ML service that allows organizations to bring computer vision to on-premises cameras to make predictions locally with high accuracy and low latency.

The AWS Panorama Appliance is a hardware device that adds computer vision to your existing IP cameras and analyzes the video feeds of multiple cameras from a single management interface. It generates predictions at the edge in milliseconds, meaning you can be notified about potential issues such as when damaged products are detected on a fast-moving production line, or when a vehicle has strayed into a dangerous off-limits zone in a warehouse. And, third-party manufacturers are building new AWS Panorama-enabled cameras and devices to provide even more form factors for your unique use cases. With AWS Panorama you can use ML models from AWS to build your own computer vision applications, or work with a partner from the AWS Partner Network to build CV applications quickly.
