AWS re:Invent 2021 - Vanguard: Personalization at scale with Amazon SageMaker
Vanguard is using machine learning (ML) on AWS to solve one of the most pressing challenges in financial advice: personalization. In this session, learn how Vanguard’s ML engine uses AWS services such as Amazon SageMaker to optimize rule-of-thumb recommendations with more sophisticated financial advice to maximize retirement wealth and spending for investors. Vanguard will share how training the ML models on large Amazon SageMaker instances, including more than 120 instances for data generation, made the unsolvable solvable, accelerating project completion time to less than one month and lowering the cost from $5 million to less than $200 thousand.
