Amazon SageMaker Studio serves as a fully integrated development environment (IDE) tailored for machine learning (ML). With just a single click, data scientists and developers can effortlessly launch Studio notebooks to delve into datasets and construct models. Recently, users can leverage Studio notebooks to securely connect to Amazon EMR clusters, facilitating the preparation of extensive data for analysis and model training.
For those interested in data processing options for AI and ML, this blog post was updated in June 2022 to incorporate new features that enhance the integration between Amazon SageMaker Studio and EMR. Processing data accurately is a critical step in training ML models, and this post details various processing steps that can be performed.
New Features in Amazon SageMaker Notebooks
In another insightful piece, authors Janelle Lee and Marcus Nguyen discuss how Amazon SageMaker notebooks now come pre-equipped with R support, eliminating the need for manual installation of R kernels. This feature, along with the pre-installed reticulate library, streamlines the process of invoking Python modules directly within R scripts.
Exploratory Analysis in ML Environments
If you’re a data scientist looking to explore data warehouse tables in your ML environment, check out this post that illustrates how to conduct exploratory analysis on large datasets stored in your data warehouse, all accessible from your Amazon SageMaker notebooks.
Building Notebooks Supported by Spark
Moreover, the blog discusses building Amazon SageMaker notebooks supported by Spark in Amazon EMR, emphasizing the advantages of the powerful Jupyter notebook interface available through SageMaker.
Distributed Offline Inference
For those interested in distributed offline inference on significant datasets, this entry explains how to utilize Apache MXNet and Apache Spark on Amazon EMR to tackle challenges in executing distributed inference effectively.
Support for Apache MXNet
AWS has also announced support for Apache MXNet alongside new generation GPU instance types on Amazon EMR. This enhancement allows users to implement distributed deep neural networks in conjunction with their ML workflows and big data processing.
Challenges in Model Exporting and Importing
For developers generating ML models, the blog highlights the challenges of exporting and importing models across different frameworks. Many applications leverage PMML (Predictive Model Markup Language) to facilitate the transfer of models, ensuring seamless integration across platforms. You might also find this another blog post useful, as it dives deeper into the subject here.
