Description

Amazon SageMaker notebooks provide a fully-managed environment for machine learning and data science development. This playground lab allows you to choose from Amazon's curated library of sample notebooks to learn about what is most important to you. There are hundreds of notebooks to choose from. Example topics covered in the sample notebooks include:

  • Machine learning basics
  • Popular machine learning libraries including Tensorflow, PyTorch, Scikit-Learn, and Apache MXNet
  • DeepAR forecasting of energy consumption 
  • Image classification
  • Reinforcement learning for portfolio optimization
  • Sentiment analysis of IMDB movie reviews
  • Clustering similar United States counties using population date
  • SageMaker debugging
  • and much more!

You may also use the playground to develop your own machine learning models and gain hands-on experience with SageMaker.
