About the series
Abstract:
One of the most explored features of Big Data is predictive analytics. Predictive analytics is a set of techniques that are fundamental to large organizations like Amazon. Methods such as Machine Learning are used in many aspects of life, including health care, manufacturing, education, financial modeling, policing, and marketing. Analytics on Big Data has given rise to various “smart” projects, such as Connected Intersections, Smart Cities, and Smart Health. This talk will provide a range of such case studies using predictive analytics including detailed overview of methods such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning using AWS. Supervised and unsupervised based learning frameworks and its implications in the fields of Agriculture, Scientific Computing, Medical Imaging, Cancer detection, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Voice-enabled solutions to improve management of chronic disease will be discussed. Deep learning frameworks associated with image, text and natural language processing will be outlined. Amazon Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework including AI services, platform and engine will be discussed. Potential areas for collaboration with the AWS Research Initiative will also be presented.
