Data can be a valuable resource for companies, as it helps in decision making, performance analysis, and problem-solving. Estimates indicate that an average of 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are generated daily. The use of technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) is indispensable for extracting useful information from this large amount of data. Companies that provide Cloud Computing services, such as Amazon with its Amazon Web Service (AWS) platform, allow the easy deployment of AI solutions capable of taking advantage of this immense volume of data. An example of these services is AWS Lambda, one of the main tools of what is known as serverless computing. Within this context, this mini-course will introduce the concepts of Function as a Service (FaaS), which encompass the use of AWS Lambda to provision AI applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
