Image Classification - TensorFlow

The Amazon SageMaker AI Image Classification - TensorFlow algorithm is a supervised learning algorithm that supports transfer learning with many pretrained models from the TensorFlow Hub. Use transfer learning to fine-tune one of the available pretrained models on your own dataset, even if a large amount of image data is not available. The image classification algorithm takes an image as input and outputs a probability for each provided class label. Training datasets must consist of images in .jpg, .jpeg, or .png format. This page includes information about Amazon EC2 instance recommendations and sample notebooks for Image Classification - TensorFlow.

Amazon EC2 instance recommendation for the Image Classification - TensorFlow algorithm

The Image Classification - TensorFlow algorithm supports all CPU and GPU instances for training, including:

We recommend GPU instances with more memory for training with large batch sizes. Both CPU (such as M5) and GPU (P2, P3, G4dn, or G5) instances can be used for inference.
