  • Patent number: 12045693
    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: 11977958
    Abstract: A network-accessible machine learning service is provided herein. For example, the network-accessible machine learning service provider can operate one or more physical computing devices accessible to user devices via a network. These physical computing device(s) can host virtual machine instances that are configured to train machine learning models using training data referenced by a user device. These physical computing device(s) can further host virtual machine instances that are configured to execute trained machine learning models in response to user-provided inputs, generating outputs that are stored and/or transmitted to user devices via the network.

  • Patent number: 11948022
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for a web services provider to interact with a client on remote job execution. For example, a web services provider may receive a job command, from an interactive programming environment of a client, applicable to job for a machine learning algorithm on a web services provider system, process the job command using at least one of a training instance and an inference instance, and provide metrics and log data during the processing of the job to the interactive programming environment.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11537439
    Abstract: Techniques for intelligent compute resource selection and utilization for machine learning training jobs are described. At least a portion of a machine learning (ML) training job is executed a plurality of times using a plurality of different resource configurations, where each of the plurality of resource configurations includes at least a different type or amount of compute instances. A performance metric is measured for each of the plurality of the executions, and can be used along with a desired performance characteristic to generate a recommended resource configuration for the ML training job. The ML training job is executed using the recommended resource configuration.

  • Patent number: 11257002
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic accuracy-based experimentation and deployment of machine learning (ML) models are described. Inference traffic flowing to ML models and the accuracy of the models is analyzed and used to ensure that better performing models are executed more often via model selection. A predictive component can evaluate which model is more likely to be accurate for certain input data elements. Ensemble techniques can combine inference results of multiple ML models to aim to achieve a better overall result than any individual model could on its own.

  • Patent number: 11126927
    Abstract: Techniques for auto-scaling hosted machine learning models for production inference are described. A machine learning model can be deployed in a hosted environment such that the infrastructure supporting the machine learning model scales dynamically with demand so that performance is not impacted. The model can be auto-scaled using reactive techniques or predictive techniques.
