Amazon Comprehend has launched a suite of features for Comprehend Custom to enable continuous model improvements by giving developers the ability to create new model versions, to continuously test on specific test sets, and to migrate new models to existing endpoints. Using AutoML, custom entity recognition allows you to customize Amazon Comprehend to identify entities that are specific to your domain; custom classification enables you to easily build custom text classification models using your business-specific labels. Custom models can subsequently be used to perform inference on text documents, both in real-time and batch processing modes. Creating a custom model is simple – no machine learning experience required. Below is a detailed description of these features:

Amazon SageMaker Autopilot automatically builds, trains, and tunes the best machine learning models based on your data, while allowing you to maintain full control and visibility. Starting today, SageMaker Autopilot generates additional metrics, along with the objective metric, for all model candidates. For binary classification problems, Autopilot now generates F1 score (harmonic mean of the precision and recall), accuracy, and AUC (area under the curve) for all model candidates. For multi-class classification, Autopilot now generates both F1 macro and accuracy for all model candidates. As previously supported, you can select any of these metrics as the objective metric to be optimized by your Autopilot experiment. By viewing additional metrics along with the objective metric, you can now quickly assess and compare multiple candidates to build a model that best meets your needs.

Today, Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) launched the ability to replicate specific repositories to accounts or regions, and see when images were replicated through the ECR API. This gives you granular control to replicate images within repositories you want, instead of replicating all images in a registry, and the ability to automate actions through the new DescribeImageReplicationStatus API whenever images are replicated.

This was the headline, 60 years ago, of a story in Electronics Weekly’s edition of January 18 1961. The story begins: RAPID expansion was the keynote of 1960 for the Plessey Co. In the annual report Mr. A. G. Clark was able to announce that trading profits almost doubled-from £2.2 million to £4.3 million before …

China doesn’t know it yet, but it’s already lost its bid for world domination. It lost because it is establishing a society whose dynamic runs against the grain of human nature.  Humans are happiest when they have maximum control over their lives. China wants the state to have maximum control over its peoples’ lives. A …
