A recap of MTurk talks from AWS re:Invent 2018
AWS re:Invent is a learning conference hosted by Amazon Web Services for the global cloud computing community. The conference took place in Las Vegas from November 25th to December 1st. You can learn more about re:Invent here.
In a previous blog post, we announced several talks and workshops on using MTurk that provided information and best practices on using MTurk. Today, we’re pleased to announce that recordings from the Breakout Sessions are now available. Below we’ve shared these videos and have also included an interview members of our team hosted for AWS Launchpad.
In addition to the talks, MTurk was part of the launch of Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth in Andy Jassy’s keynote. This new service is integrated with MTurk and makes it possible to quickly gather highly accurate labels to use in machine learning training. The video below starts at the Ground Truth portion in the video. You can see our post on Amazon Sagemaker Ground Truth here.
