Study Notes

Amazon SageMaker Overview

  • SageMaker is a fully managed machine learning service on AWS, simplifying model building and deployment for developers and data scientists.
  • It streamlines the entire machine learning process, from data preparation to model training, tuning, and deployment, eliminating the need to manage compute resources.

Model Building with SageMaker

  • Historical data is transformed for model training. Features include experience in IT, AWS, course duration, and previous exam scores.
  • Example data: Historical student survey responses containing experience levels and exam scores (e.g., 670, 890, 934).
  • SageMaker trains and tunes the model based on input data, enabling predictions.
  • Predictions are generated based on new input data, like years of IT experience, AWS experience, and course hours.
  • Example prediction: For a student with 3 years IT, 1 year AWS, and 10 hours of course work, the model predicts a score of 906.

Built-in Algorithms in SageMaker

  • SageMaker offers various built-in algorithms for different scenarios.
  • Supervised algorithms: Include linear regressions, classifications (e.g., using KNN).
  • Unsupervised algorithms: Principal Component Analysis (PCA), K-means, anomaly detection (e.g., fraud detection).
  • Other notable algorithms: Natural Language Processing (NLP), image processing.

Automatic Model Tuning (AMT)

  • AMT automatically optimizes model hyperparameters to enhance performance.
  • Users define an objective metric to optimize.
  • AMT automatically selects hyperparameter ranges, search strategies, and stopping conditions.
  • It saves time and money by preventing suboptimal configurations.

Model Deployment Options

  • SageMaker offers four deployment options:
    • Real-time: One prediction at a time, low latency (potential for cold start).
    • Serverless: Low configuration, auto-scaling, potential latency on first request (cold start).
    • Asynchronous: Near real-time, handles large payloads (up to 1GB), takes longer than real-time methods for results.
    • Batch: High-latency, processes multiple data points concurrently (multiple records).
  • All deployment options use Amazon S3 for input/output.

Deployment Comparisons

Feature Real-time Serverless Asynchronous Batch
Latency Low Low (cold start possible) Near real-time High (minutes to hours)
Payload Size Small (up to 6MB) Small Large (up to 1GB) Large (100MB+ minibatches)
Processing Time Max 60 sec N/A Max 1 hour Max 1 hour
Infrastructure Management Minimal No management Minimal Minimal
Use Cases Real-time predictions No infrastructre, real-time Large data, workload longer than realtime Multiple predictions on many data points (bulk processing)
