In this workshop, we build a natural language processing (NLP) model to classify sample Twitter comments and customer-support emails using the state-of-the-art BERT model for language representation.
To build our BERT-based NLP model, we use the Amazon Customer Reviews Dataset which contains 150+ million customer reviews from Amazon.com for the 20 year period between 1995 and 2015. In particular, we train a classifier to predict the star_rating
(1 is bad, 5 is good) from the review_body
(free-form review text).
This workshop is FREE, but would otherwise cost <25 USD.
Note: This workshop will create an ephemeral AWS acccount for each attendee. This ephemeral account is not accessible after the workshop. You can, of course, clone this GitHub repo and reproduce the entire workshop in your own AWS Account.
If you do not logout of existing AWS Consoles, things will not work properly.
Please logout of all AWS Console sessions in all browser tabs.
Take the defaults and click on Open AWS Console. This will open AWS Console in a new browser tab.
If you see this message, you need to logout from any previously used AWS accounts.
Please logout of all AWS Console sessions in all browser tabs.
Double-check that your account name is similar to TeamRole/MasterKey
as follows:
If not, please logout of your AWS Console in all browser tabs and re-run the steps above!
Open the AWS Management Console

to launch a terminal in your Jupyter instance.
Within the Terminal, run the following:
cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/data-science-on-aws/workshop
If you see an error like the following, just re-run the command again until it works:
fatal: Unable to create '/home/sagemaker-user/workshop/.git/index.lock': File exists.
Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.
Note: This is not a fatal error ^^ above ^^. Just re-run the command again until it works.
Navigate to 00_quickstart/
