Automatic ML model selection
Amazon SageMaker Autopilot automatically infers the best type of predictions for your data, such as binary classification, multi-class classification, regression, or time series forecasting. It then runs a comprehensive AutoML cycle to evaluate hundreds of model candidates with various hyperparameters and algorithms to identify a highly accurate model that best fits your data.

Thomson Reuters
Thomson Reuters is a leading source of information, including one of the world’s most trusted news organizations.
One of the challenges that our engineers face is managing customer call resources during peak seasons to ensure the optimal number of customer service personnel are hired to handle the influx of inquiries, historical analysis of call center data containing call volume, wait time, date, and other relevant metrics is time consuming. Our teams are leveraging the new data preparation and customization capabilities in SageMaker Canvas to train models on company data to identify patterns and trends that impact call volume during peak hours. It was extremely easy for us to build ML models using our own data, and we look forward to increasing the use of foundational models—without writing any code—through Canvas.

Clarium
Clarium is a healthcare supply chain platform that uses machine learning and data tools to empower healthcare providers by optimizing inventory levels, reducing costs, and improving operational efficiency.
Our clients are often hindered by the quality and integration of their own data—a challenge that is ubiquitous among hospitals across the US. In addition, accumulated decades of inconsistent quality assurance practices and fragmented data processes have resulted in the arduous task of cleansing, validating, and integrating billions of rows of erroneous data. To help them tackle this challenge, our analytics teams use Amazon SageMaker Canvas to derive, cleanse, and standardize data coming from an unlimited number of sources from healthcare providers in the US, allowing them to easily build custom text classification models—all without writing a single line of code. With SageMaker Canvas, we offer our clients validated and standardized product descriptions and classifications for ERP data, verified clinical classifications for procedural utilization data, and data-driven recommendations designed to optimize the quality of patient care, all while reducing costs and saving time. By equipping our clients with trustworthy data and cutting-edge analytics, we empower them to look ahead and build a brighter future for healthcare, instead of constantly playing catch-up with the present.

INVISTA
A subsidiary of Koch Industries since 2004, INVISTA brings to market the proprietary ingredients for nylon 6,6 and recognized brands including CORDURA and ANTRON.
Our business analysts are data savvy, and we needed the ability to let them create predictive models. Equally important, however, was to ensure that our data science team had visibility into the models built so that they can support and productionize as needed. We foresee Amazon SageMaker Canvas empowering our business users and process engineers to start working on data science problems that were previously owned by the data science team. The intuitive user interface and easy-to-navigate options of Amazon SageMaker Canvas allow business users to import a variety of data, minimize the need to manually clean up data, and apply a variety of algorithms to find the model that best fits the data with a few clicks. The code and data can easily be sent to the data science team through Amazon SageMaker Studio, allowing them to integrate models into their model management system and see a full picture of models enterprise wide.
