Debugger tutorial videos

The following videos provide a tour of Amazon SageMaker Debugger capabilities using SageMaker Studio and SageMaker AI notebook instances.

Debugging models with Amazon SageMaker Debugger in Studio Classic

Julien Simon, AWS Technical Evangelist | Length: 14 minutes 17 seconds

This tutorial video demonstrates how to use Amazon SageMaker Debugger to capture and inspect debugging information from a training model. The example training model used in this video is a simple convolutional neural network (CNN) based on Keras with the TensorFlow backend. SageMaker AI in a TensorFlow framework and Debugger enable you to build an estimator directly using the training script and debug the training job.

You can find the example notebook in the video in this Studio Demo repository provided by the author. You need to clone the debugger.ipynb notebook file and the mnist_keras_tf.py training script to your SageMaker Studio or a SageMaker notebook instance. After you clone the two files, specify the path keras_script_path to the mnist_keras_tf.py file inside the debugger.ipynb notebook. For example, if you cloned the two files in the same directory, set it as keras_script_path = "mnist_keras_tf.py".

Deep dive on Amazon SageMaker Debugger and SageMaker AI model monitor

This video session explores advanced features of Debugger and SageMaker Model Monitor that help boost productivity and the quality of your models. First, this video shows how to detect and fix training issues, visualize tensors, and improve models with Debugger. Next, at 22:41, the video shows how to monitor models in production and identify prediction issues such as missing features or data drift using SageMaker AI Model Monitor. Finally, it offers cost optimization tips to help you make the most of your machine learning budget.

You can find the example notebook in the video in this AWS Dev Days 2020 repository offered by the author.
