  • Patent number: 11550614
    Abstract: Techniques for packaging and deploying algorithms utilizing containers for flexible machine learning are described. In some embodiments, users can create or utilize simple containers adhering to a specification of a machine learning service in a provider network, where the containers include code for how a machine learning model is to be trained and/or executed. The machine learning service can automatically train a model and/or host a model using the containers. The containers can use a wide variety of algorithms and use a variety of types of languages, libraries, data types, etc. Users can thus implement machine learning training and/or hosting with extremely minimal knowledge of how the overall training and/or hosting is actually performed.

  • Publication number: 20200311617
    Abstract: Techniques for using scoring algorithms utilizing containers for flexible machine learning inference are described. In some embodiments, a request to host a machine learning (ML) model within a service provider network on behalf of a user is received, the request identifying an endpoint to perform scoring using the ML model. An endpoint is initialized as a container running on a virtual machine based on a container image and used to score data and return a result of said scoring to a user device.

  • Patent number: 9184979
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating communications between application components that are distributed among many devices across a network. This allows for the application to execute as if on one device even though the application components are on many devices. A component interface is generated for the application components. The component interface intercepts communications sent from an application component, locates the intended receiving application component, and generates a component interface packet with the location. The component interface packet is then put into a network stream. The receiving component listens to the stream to obtain component interface packets that indicate the location of the device running the receiving application component. The component interface decodes the component interface packets intended for components associated with the component interface and sends communications encoded in the packet to the application components.
