Start releasing machine learning content group that Amazon has provided for internal use free of charge

AI (machine artificial intelligence) using machine learning is used around the service in Amazon store management which deals with enormous products and AWS which is the company's web service. Amazon, which has developed and provided numerous machine learning related educational contents to improve engineer skills, has begun free release of those tools.

Dr. Matt Wood, who is at the top of deep learning and AI division at Amazon, will publish a learning course that was offered internally for Amazon internally on November 26, 2018 for free to the general AWS developer On the blog. Published contents are roughly divided into four: "for developers" "for business decision makers" "for data scientists" "for data platform engineers", more than 30 teaching materials, for a total of more than 45 hours The movie is included.

According to Mr. Wood, each teaching material begins with a commentary on the foundation in each field, and it has come to be able to obtain practical knowledge through practical contents and the like according to actual events. The teaching material includes 'Prediction of materials for gift wrapping', 'Optimization of delivery route', 'How to predict nominations for movie awards using data from the Internet · Movie · Database (IMDb)' etc. I will.

In addition, learning through each teaching material has enabled us to acquire knowledge utilizing Amazon 's service such as Amazon SageMaker , AWS DeepLens , Amazon Rekognition , Amazon Lex , Amazon Polly , Amazon Comprehend about.

In order to use real teaching materials, I access the following site.

AWS Training and Certification - Machine Learning
https://aws.amazon.com/jp/training/learning-paths/machine-learning/

The teaching materials are all in English, but in Japanese the message "I am preparing to use the content in the selected language" is displayed, and it may be possible to expect Japanese correspondence from now on.

As mentioned above, there are four Learning Paths (for learning paths), "for developers", "for business decision makers", "for data scientists", "for data platform engineers", and "preparation for testing "And" see all the teaching materials "are also prepared. In addition, you need an account of AWS to use the teaching materials, but you can open an AWS account as soon as you have an Amazon account.

When I actually opened the page for "data scientist", the path of the whole learning process was displayed. At first, as a foundation, "Mathematics for Machine Learning" has started, and it is now becoming a teaching material such as "Data Science Element" "Machine Learning Application Development".

When "Mathematics for Machine Learning" was opened, commentary on items such as "Vector" and "Sequence" became visible with movies.

Hurdles are somewhat higher because all the materials are in English, but English is inevitable for those who are interested in the field of machine learning, so it is good to master the English and mechanical learning with a spirit It seems to be an opportunity. It can be said that it is a chance to be touched by the teaching material that was used at the scene of Amazon, so if you are interested it may be content you should touch once.
