The new SageMaker updates include SageMaker RL, which was created to make it easier for developers to build, train and deploy machine learning tools, including low cost, automatic data labeling and reinforcement learning (RL).
A year ago, AWS launched image recognition camera DeepLens, which allowed developers to build several applications based on image recognition, and led the company to try and solve the issues related to autonomous driving.
AWS Outposts initially will come in two flavors. Unfortunately, labeling data is a job that's often time-consuming, because it generally has to be done by hand. Along with this broad range of services and devices, customers are working alongside Amazon's expert data scientists in the AWS ML Lab to implement real-life use cases.
The AWS Ground Station service allows satellite operators to cut their communication costs by paying only for satellite communications their organization needs.
