“ In retail , it ’ s important to provide customers with easy access to alternative products or recommended add-ons ”

AWS
Amazon ’ s cloud service , AWS offers a wide range of machine learning solutions on the cloud , with Amazon claiming that more machine learning happens on its platform than anywhere else . Of particular note is Amazon SageMaker , which is focused on simplifying the process of building , training and deploying machine learning models . It does this in part through a web-based visual interface allowing for the uploading of data , the tuning of models and comparisons of performance .
AWS has also developed specific hardware for machine learning , with an inference chip known as Inferentia , which is intended for sophisticated applications such as search recommendations , dynamic pricing and automated customer support , and is accessible through the cloud .
One prominent customer of AWS ’ s approach to machine learning is Disney , which is using machine learning to tag and categorise its old content with metadata .
