Amazon Rekognition

Amazon Rekognition Content Moderation automates and streamlines your image and video moderation workflows using machine learning (ML), without requiring ML experience. 

It's a deep learning-based feature that can detect inappropriate, unwanted, or offensive images and videos, making it easier to find and remove such content at scale. 

Last week, Amazon Rekognition content moderation comes with an improved model for image moderation that significantly reduces false positive rates for e-commerce, social media and online communities' content, without reduction in detection rates for truly unsafe content. 

Lower false positive rates mean faster approvals for user uploaded content leading to a better end-user experience. Lower false positive rate also implies lower volumes of flagged images to be reviewed further, leading to a better experience for human moderators and more cost savings.

Private5G

 Last week, AWS announced the general availability of Private 5G.  It is a managed service to help enterprises set up and scale private mobile networks in their facilities in days instead of months.

With only a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, the user is able to build a mobile network and the number of devices you want to connect. AWS then delivers and maintains the small cell radio unit, the mobile network core and radio access network (RAN) software, and subscriber identity modules (SIM cards) required to set up a private mobile network and connect devices. AWS Private 5G automates the setup and deployment of the network.

No upfront fees or per-device costs are incurred with AWS Private 5G, and you pay only for the network capacity that you request.

Ph D-Day

 

Today is D-Day (PhD viva defense [D] day); post effect of 7.5 years

My journey through PhD life was similar to others - a roller coaster (or Sin wave) of highs and lows. In this journey, had a difficult time refining my research work, keeping motivation, work research balance, health struggles and then a pandemic spelling.

After these challenges, still felt that everything was hanging on the dreaded viva. Day came finally!

Honestly, everything in those three hours is a bit of a blur with my brain fogged over. Still, it's a life time opportunity!

As the hard core results of consistency, commitment and courage, God blessed me to prefix as Dr. officially. 

Thanks every well wisher to make this D-Day!
