Semantic image search for articles using Amazon Rekognition, Amazon SageMaker foundation models, and Amazon OpenSearch Service

Digital publishers are continuously looking for ways to streamline and automate their media workflows in order to generate and publish new content as rapidly as they can. Publishers can have repositories containing millions of images and in order to save money, they need to be able to reuse these images across articles. Finding the image that best matches an article in repositories of this scale can be a time-consuming, repetitive, manual task that can be automated. It also relies on the images in the repository being tagged correctly, which can also be automated (for a customer success story, refer to Aller Media Finds Success with KeyCore and AWS). In this post, we demonstrate how to use Amazon Rekognition, Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, and Amazon OpenSearch Service to solve this business problem.

Cyclical forecasting workflow

Automate the deployment of an Amazon Forecast time-series forecasting model

Time series forecasting refers to the process of predicting future values of time series data (data that is collected at regular intervals over time). Simple methods for time series forecasting use historical values of the same variable whose future values need to be predicted, whereas more complex, machine learning (ML)-based methods use additional information, such […]
