INTRODUCTION:
- Data Labelling: SageMaker offers built-in tools for data labelling, enabling users to
annotate and label datasets for supervised learning tasks.
- Model Training: Users can train machine learning models using SageMaker's managed
training infrastructure, which supports distributed training across multiple instances.
- Custom Algorithms: Users can also bring their own algorithms and frameworks to
SageMaker, allowing for flexibility and customization in model development.
- Real-Time and Batch Inference: SageMaker supports both real-time and batch
inference, allowing users to generate predictions on individual data points or large
datasets.
2. Workflow:
The typical workflow for using Amazon SageMaker involves the following steps:
- Data Preparation: Users start by preparing their data, which may involve cleaning,
preprocessing, and splitting into training, validation, and test sets.
- Model Development: Next, users select or develop a machine learning algorithm and
train their model using SageMaker's training infrastructure. This step may involve
hyperparameter tuning to optimize model performance.
- Model Evaluation: After training, users evaluate the model's performance using
validation data to ensure it meets the desired criteria.
- Model Deployment: Once satisfied with the model's performance, users deploy it to
SageMaker's hosting infrastructure for inference. This step involves configuring
endpoints and specifying resource requirements.
- Inference: With the model deployed, users can generate predictions on new data in real-
time or in batch using SageMaker's inference capabilities.
- Monitoring and Iteration: Finally, users monitor the deployed model's performance
over time, making adjustments as needed based on feedback and changing requirements.
Overall, Amazon SageMaker provides a powerful and versatile platform for building,
training, and deploying machine learning models in the cloud, enabling organizations to
accelerate innovation and drive business value with artificial intelligence.
To address this challenge and elevate its customer support capabilities to new heights,
Mercedes-Benz Consulting embarks on a transformative journey by embracing cutting-
edge technologies. Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning,
Mercedes-Benz Consulting partners with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to harness the
capabilities of Amazon SageMaker, a fully managed machine learning service.

2. Amazon Glue
- Discover, prepare, and integrate all your data at any scale.
Mercedes-Benz Consulting needed to architect a strong foundation for its data sources,
and it took a serverless-first approach. When employees ask a question of the AI solution,
the process starts with data going through the extract, transform, load process. To
automate the migration of data, Mercedes-Benz Consulting uses AWS Lambda, a
serverless, event-driven compute service. This data is then processed and cleaned
using AWS Glue, a serverless data integration service that makes it simple to discover,
prepare, move, and integrate data from multiple sources.
Another important component of the solution is the processing of natural language. Here,
text needs to be converted to numbers using embeddings. For its ML model development,
monitoring, and deployment, Mercedes-Benz Consulting uses Amazon SageMaker, a
service to build, train, and deploy ML models. The company can also use Amazon
SageMaker to integrate open-source ML models from Hugging Face while keeping control
of its data. These data embeddings are then accessed by Amazon OpenSearch Service,
which is used to securely unlock near-real-time search, monitoring, and analysis of
business and operational data. The embeddings then go through a vector search, and the
AI solution provides the answer to the initial question.
The speed and accuracy of this solution helps improve staff productivity at Mercedes-
Benz Consulting. The company’s goal is for the top three returned results of any query to
contain all the relevant information, with the first result providing the best answer to the
question. One metric for measuring accuracy is the percentage of questions with positive
user feedback from qualified users. The speed and accuracy of answers saves time and
effort for employees, especially new hires, when searching for information.
“Using AWS, we created a cutting-edge system that allows our company to bring our ways
of using internal knowledge to a completely new level,” says Dr. Marcel Graus, head of
data and tech at Mercedes-Benz Consulting.
CONCLUSION:
“With this AWS engagement and everything we’ve developed in the past year, we have
moved our focus from doing projects to creating products,” says Dr. Chadha. “We have
learned to build in a flexible, scalable manner so that we can incorporate user
requirements and develop our system further.”
