Specifically, it starts processing millions of documents in minutes by leveraging the power of machine learning without having trained models from scratch. If any of the content contains personally identifiable information not only can Amazon Comprehend locate it but it will also redact or mask it. Using NLP techniques Amazon Comprehend goes well beyond keyword search or rules-based tagging to accurately classify documents. For my task or development, I cannot find any difficulties with Amazon Comprehend.

It has a lot of features that are good for teams working on large-scale projects and continuously developing and reiterating their data project models. Really helpful when dealing with large data. It is a kind of one-stop solution for all data science tasks like visualization, cleaning, analyzing data, and developing models but small teams might find a lot of features unuseful.

Cons
Amazon AWS
  • It will be great if Amazon Comprehend provide support specifically for litigation or related text documents to extract insights from it.
  • For REST API support using JAVA SDK, it will be great for developers if they provide support for testing without any credentials or account details.
  • Setting up for REST API integration can be as simple as possible.

  • The cost is steep and so only companies with resources can afford it
  • It will be nice to have Chinese versions so that Chinese engineers can also use it easily
  • It takes a while to learn how to input different kinds of skin defects for detection

For natural language processing tasks or techniques, there are many service providers out there in the market such as Azure Cloud Services, IBM Watson and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), but compared with them, Amazon Comprehend is the best service provider in contents of accuracy, speed of processing multilingual text, supporting SDK for most of the languages and well documented.

The main reason I personally changed over from Azure ML Studio is because it lacked any support for significant custom modelling with packages and services such as TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and Spark ML. IBM Watson Studio provides these services and does so in a well integrated and easy to use fashion making it a preferable service over the other services that I have personally used.

Return on Investment
Amazon AWS
  • It supports better and accurately as compared with our existing or old implementations. So, we fulfil our needs as per clients' requirements and it will help to grow or improve client satisfaction.
  • For these specific requirements, we do not require any machine learning engineers or related professionals to hire in our organisation.
  • None of any negative sides can be affected our business or distract existing clients.

  • Could instantly show data driven insights to drive 20% incremental revenue over existing results
  • Still don't have a real use case for unstructured data like twitter feed
  • Some of the insights around user actions have driven new projects to automate mundane tasks
