With this book, you’ll work through hands-on exercises and learn to use these services to solve real-world problems. You’ll even design, develop, monitor, and maintain machine and deep learning models on AWS. The book starts with an introduction to AI and its applications in different industries, along with an overview of AWS artificial intelligence and machine learning services. You’ll then get to grips with detecting and translating text with Amazon Rekognition and Amazon Translate. The book will assist you in performing speech-to-text with Amazon Transcribe and Amazon Polly. Later, you’ll discover the use of Amazon Comprehend for extracting information from text, and Amazon Lex for building voice chatbots. You will also understand the key capabilities of Amazon SageMaker such as wrangling big data, discovering topics in text collections, and classifying images. Finally, you’ll cover sales forecasting with deep learning and autoregression, before exploring the importance of a feedback loop in machine learning. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to implement AI in AWS through hands-on exercises that cover all aspects of the ML model life cycle. What you will learn * Gain useful insights into different machine and deep learning models * Build and deploy robust deep learning systems to production * Train machine and deep learning models with diverse infrastructure specifications * Scale AI apps without dealing with the complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure * Monitor and Manage AI experiments efficiently * Create AI apps using AWS pre-trained AI services Who this book is for This book is for data scientists, machine learning developers, deep learning researchers, and artificial intelligence enthusiasts who want to harness the power of AWS to implement powerful artificial intelligence solutions. A basic understanding of machine learning concepts is expected.

This book is for software developers who are new to Lucene and who want to explore the more advanced topics to build a search engine. Knowledge of Java is necessary to follow the code samples. You will learn core concepts, best practices, and also advanced features, in order to build an effective search application.

This practical guide is intended for those who want to learn how to build extremely scalable applications. This book is easy to read and is aimed at Java enterprise developers with a solid knowledge of Java. However, no previous coding experience with Infinispan is required.

Step-by-step instructions guide you from your very first graphical program to highly complex 3D presentations. Although a few recipes explain charts in Flex, this book is firmly focussed on using ActionScript code and data to draw graphs. The "ActionScript Graphing Cookbook" is aimed at any ActionScript developer who wants to add data visualization to their skill set. The reader should be familiar with ActionScript basics, but no deep knowledge of any graphical functions is required.
