Overview of this book

Amazon SageMaker enables you to quickly build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale without managing any infrastructure. It helps you focus on the machine learning problem at hand and deploy high-quality models by eliminating the heavy lifting typically involved in each step of the ML process. This second edition will help data scientists and ML developers to explore new features such as SageMaker Data Wrangler, Pipelines, Clarify, Feature Store, and much more. You'll start by learning how to use various capabilities of SageMaker as a single toolset to solve ML challenges and progress to cover features such as AutoML, built-in algorithms and frameworks, and writing your own code and algorithms to build ML models. The book will then show you how to integrate Amazon SageMaker with popular deep learning libraries, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, to extend the capabilities of existing models. You'll also see how automating your workflows can help you get to production faster with minimum effort and at a lower cost. Finally, you'll explore SageMaker Debugger and SageMaker Model Monitor to detect quality issues in training and production. By the end of this Amazon book, you'll be able to use Amazon SageMaker on the full spectrum of ML workflows, from experimentation, training, and monitoring to scaling, deployment, and automation.

Detecting bias in datasets and explaining predictions with SageMaker Clarify

A machine learning (ML) model is only as good as the dataset it was built from. If a dataset is inaccurate or unfair in representing the reality it's supposed to capture, a corresponding model is very likely to learn this biased representation and perpetuate it in its predictions. As ML practitioners, we need to be aware of these problems, understand how they impact predictions, and limit that impact whenever possible.

In this example, we'll work with the Adult Data Set, available at the UCI Machine Learning Repository (http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml, Dua, D. and Graff, C., 2019). This dataset describes a binary classification task, where we try to predict if an individual earns less or more than $50,000 per year. Here, we'd like to check whether this dataset introduces gender bias or not. In other words, does it help us build models that predict equally well for men and women?
