Use a SageMaker Pipeline Lambda Step for Lightweight Model Deployments
In this article, you'll explore the Lambda step and how you can use it to add custom functionality to your ML pipelines. Also, the specifics of using the Lambda step for lightweight model deployments.

How to Detect, Evaluate, and Visualize Historical Drifts in the Data
Analyzing historical drift in data is a nice way of understanding how your data changes, to choose monitoring thresholds. Check out this tutorial for details.

Complete Guide to A/B Testing Design, Implementation and Pitfalls
In this guide, the author covers a wide range of topics on end-to-end A/B testing for your Data Science experiments, with examples and Python implementation.

A Deep Dive on ARIMA Models
In this post, you'll take a deep dive into the ARIMA family of time series forecasting models, from foundational theory of forecasting models to training a SARIMAX model in Python.

A Gentle Introduction to Graph Neural Networks
In this article, the authors explore the components needed for building a graph neural network - and motivate the design choices behind them. Check out the reference section too.

PAPERS

SummerTime: Text Summarization Toolkit for Non-Experts
In this paper, the authors present SummerTime, a toolkit for text summarization, including various models, datasets and evaluation metrics, for a full spectrum of summarization-related tasks.

Materials Fingerprinting Classification
In this paper, the authors propose a machine learning algorithm coupled with topological data analysis that provides an easy way to extract structural information from APT datasets.

Accelerating Materials Discovery with Bayesian Optimization and Graph Deep Learning
The authors show that Bayesian optimization with symmetry constraints using a graph deep learning energy model can be used to perform "DFT-free" relaxations of crystal structures.

SimVLM: Simple Visual Language Model Pretraining with Weak Supervision
Simple Visual Language Model (SimVLM) is a minimalist pretraining framework that reduces the training complexity and is trained end-to-end with a single prefix language modeling objective.

Multiplying Matrices Without Multiplying
The authors introduce a learning-based algorithm for approximating matrix multiplies that runs 100× faster than exact matrix products and 10× faster than current approximate methods.

Deep Learning for Distinguishing Normal Versus Abnormal Chest Radiographs and Generalization to Two Unseen Diseases Tuberculosis and COVID-19
The paper presents the AI system trained using a large dataset containing a diverse array of CXR abnormalities that is capable of generalizing to new patient populations and unseen diseases.

BOOKS
