## Serverless and AI, a match made in Heaven

[Last week](https://ai4devs.io/issue-20210409-005) talked about winning your customer base, detecting objects and diseases using AI. This week we explore how to improve medical diagnosis management, introduce some fundamentals of NLP, and what does means serverless to AI.

### Here are our top picks of the week!

Health and Medical AI applications are becoming the new normal in diagnosis, but this is just half of the story. A compelling AI system should be able to infer from previous reports, thus detecting the usage of medical terms. Ram Vegiraju explains how [AWS Comprehend Medical can be used for Medical Entity Detection using](https://link.medium.com/54RubFeGjfb)

Comprehend is one of the powerful tools we can leverage to implement Natural Language Processing or NLP for short. to deep dive into these practices, Ketan Doshi [does a gentle introduction to NLP](https://link.medium.com/av3aL0kGjfb)

I am a huge fan of serverless, and Jeremy Daly does a great job interviewing Alexandra Abbas in this new [Serverless Chats episode exploring how AI can match it to raise the bar of your next project](https://www.serverlesschats.com/96/)

Finally, an advanced example of machine learning model handling, [through Sagemaker Autopilot](https://aws.amazon.com/it/blogs/machine-learning/hawkeye-360-uses-amazon-sagemaker-autopilot-to-streamline-machine-learning-model-development-for-maritime-vessel-risk-assessment/). Model hyperparameters fine-tuning is not an easy task. Still, this use case is explanatory of the potential and wide range of applications.


#### Upcoming events
We're just wrapping up a week full of AI with [nVidia GTC conference](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/gtc/). We'll talk about all of them in a future episode, but there is a lot of juice coming from this conference.
If you wish to approach Machine Learning on AWS, I could suggest attending this workshop on [getting started with Amazon Sagemaker](https://amazonsagemakerworkshops.splashthat.com/) on April 23rd.


And this is all for this week. Stay tuned and subscribe to be always up to date with the latest news in AI and machine learning applications.

Thank you for reading, see you next week!
