These include predicting gift-wrapping eligibility, optimizing delivery routes, or predicting entertainment award nominations using data from Amazon subsidiary, IMDb.<\/p>\n<p>The coursework helps consolidate best practices, and demonstrates how to get started on a range of Amazon Web Services (AWS) machine learning services, including Amazon SageMaker, AWS DeepLens, Amazon Rekognition, Amazon Lex, Amazon Polly, and Amazon Comprehend.<\/p>\n<p>The company says that in order to help employers hire more efficiently, it is also introducing its own machine-learning certification that customers can take right now for half price.<\/p>\n<p>The gratis is probably in part to enhance Amazon\u2019s retail pages, as well as to potentially recruit more people into the company so it can accelerate its own growth.
