SageMaker text processing algorithms

ByMichael Stainsbury Last updated date:

There are four SageMaker text processing algorithms: BlazingText, LDA, NTM and Sequence-to-sequence. BlazingText converts text to numeric vectors. LDA and NTM identify topics in text documents and Sequence-to-sequence provides machine translation of languages. Each algorithm has it’s own section and embedded video.

These revision notes are part of subdomain 3.2 Select the appropriate model(s) for a given machine learning problem of the exam syllabus.

These revision notes describe the four SageMaker text processing algorithms. Each one processes text differently, although LDA and NTM have the same use case. BlazingText is a precursor for downstream Natural Language Processing. LDA and NTM both provide topic modeling of a large document corpus. Sequence-to sequence performs machine translation of languages.

Sequence-to-Sequence Algorithm

ByMichael Stainsbury

SageMaker Sequence-to-Sequence algorithm is used for machine translation of languages. The algorithm takes the input sequence of tokens, for example French words, and outputs the translation as a sequence of English words. As well as translation, Sequence-to-Sequence can be used to summarize a document and convert speech to text. Sequence-to-Sequence is a Supervised Learning algorithm….

Latent Dirichlet Allocation Algorithm

ByMichael Stainsbury

SageMaker Latent Dirichlet Allocation algorithm (LDA) is an Unsupervised Learning algorithm that groups words in a document into topics. The topics are found by a probability distribution of all the words in a document. LDA can be used to discover topics shared by documents within a text corpus. The number of topics is specified by…

Neural Topic Model Algorithm

ByMichael Stainsbury

The Neural Topic Model Algorithm (NTM) is used to identify topics in a corpus of documents. NTM uses statistics to group words. The groups are termed Latent Representations because they are identified via word distributions in the documents. The Latent Representations reveal the semantics of the documents and so outperform analysis using the word form…

BlazingText Algorithm

ByMichael Stainsbury

BlazingText is the name AWS calls it’s SageMaker built-in algorithm that can identify relationships between words in text documents. These relationships, which are also called embeddings, are expressed as vectors. The semantic relationship between words is preserved by the vectors which cluster words with similar semantics together. This conversion of words to meaningful numeric vectors…

K-Means Algorithm

ByMichael Stainsbury

The K-Means Algorithm is an Unsupervised Learning algorithm used to find clusters. The clusters are formed by grouping data points that are as similar as possible to each other and different from other data points. The distance between data points are calculated and averaged to form groups. K-Means is used for market segmentation, computer vision,…

What is Supervised Learning? For Supervised Learning you need labeled training data. In Supervised Learning we provide data that has already been identified and therefore labeled, as being what we are looking for. Once the Machine Learning model has been trained it can then be presented with real unknown data to which the Machine Learning…

Model tuning

ByMichael Stainsbury

Hyperparameters can be thought of as the external controls that influence how the model operates, just as flight instruments control how an aeroplane flies. These values are external to the model and are controlled by the user. They can influence how an algorithm is trained and the structure of the final model. The optimized settings…
