Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) is a standardized markup language that enables developers to modify Text-to-Speech (TTS) audio. With SSML, you can control various vocal characteristics of TTS output, such as pronunciation, speech rate, and other elements, to produce a more natural-sounding voice experience. Today, we are excited to announce a new phonation SSML tag […]

Today AWS released version 0.2 of Model Server for Apache MXNet (MMS), an open-source library that packages and serves deep learning models for making predictions at scale. Now you can serve models in Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) format and publish operational metrics directly to HAQM CloudWatch, where you can create dashboards and alarms. What […]

In this blog post we’ll show you how you can use HAQM Translate, HAQM Comprehend, HAQM Kinesis, HAQM Athena, and HAQM QuickSight to build a natural-language-processing (NLP)-powered social media dashboard for tweets.

To drive awareness of deep learning, machine learning, and the internet of things in autonomous driving, AWS hosted a hackathon—the Robocar Rally—at re:Invent in November 2017. We kicked off Robocar Rally in September with a series of blog posts and Twitch streams. At re:Invent, we had 100 attendees come for a hands-on two-day hackathon using deep learning and the open source Donkey Car platform with AWS machine learning services and AWS IoT. They formed teams, and built, customized, trained, and raced their own 1/16th scale cars. There’s a lot we could talk about, but we think this video shows the event better than we could write about it.
