Building a Production-Ready Predictive Customer Service Application with AWS
Agenda
• What is predictive customer service?
• Using machine learning to find important social media conversations
• Building an end-to-end application to act on these conversations
Application details
Goal: build a smart application for social media listening in the cloud
Full source code and documentation are on GitHub: http://bit.ly/AmazonMLCodeSample

AWSLambda
Amazon Machine Learning
AmazonSNS
Amazon Mechanical Turk
Why do we need machine learning for this?
The social media stream is high-volume, and most of the messages are not CS-actionable
Amazon Machine Learning in one slide
• Easy to use, managed machine learning service built for developers
• Robust, powerful machine learning technology based on Amazon’s internal systems
• Create models using your data already stored in the AWS cloud
• Deploy models to production in seconds
Formulating the business problem
We would like to…
Instantly find new tweets mentioning @awscloud, ingest and analyze each one to predict whether a customer service agent should act on it, and, if so, send that tweet to customer service agents.

Picking the machine learning strategy
Question we want to answer: Is this tweet customer service-actionable, or not?
Our dataset: Text and metadata from past tweets mentioning @awscloud
Machine learning approach:Create a binary classification model to answer a yes/no question, and provide a confidence score
Retrieve past tweets
Twitter API can be used to search for tweets containing our company’s handle (e.g., @awscloud)
import twitter
twitter_api = twitter.Api(**twitter_credentials)
twitter_handle = ‘awscloud’
search_query = '@' + twitter_handle + ' -from:' + twitter_handle
results = twitter_api.GetSearch(term=search_query, count=100, result_type='recent’)
# We can go further back in time by issuing additional search requests

import twitter
twitter_api = twitter.Api(**twitter_credentials)
twitter_handle = ‘awscloud’
search_query = '@' + twitter_handle + ' -from:' + twitter_handle
results = twitter_api.GetSearch(term=search_query, count=100, result_type='recent')
# We can go further back in time by issuing additional search requests
Good news: data is well-structured and cleanBad news: tweets are not categorized (labeled) for us
Labeling past tweets
Why label tweets? (Many) machine learning algorithms work by discovering patterns connecting data points and labels
How many tweets need to be labeled? Several thousands to start with
Can I pay someone to do this? Yes! Amazon Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for tasks that require human intelligence
Amazon ML process, in a nutshell
1. Create your datasourcesTwo API calls to create your training and evaluation dataSanity-check your data in service console
2. Create your ML modelOne API call to build a model, with smart default or custom setting
3. Evaluate your ML modelOne API call to compute your model’s quality metric
4. Adjust your ML modelUse console to align performance trade-offs to your business goals
Create an Amazon ML endpoint for retrieving real-time predictions
import boto
ml = boto.connect_machinelearning()
ml.create_realtime_endpoint(“ml-tweets”)
# Endpoint information can be retrieved using the get_ml_model() method. Sample output: #"EndpointInfo": {
# "CreatedAt": 1424378682.266,
# "EndpointStatus": "READY",
# "EndpointUrl": ”https://realtime.machinelearning.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
# "PeakRequestsPerSecond": 200}

Create an Amazon Kinesis stream for receiving tweets
import boto
kinesis = boto.connect_kinesis()
kinesis.create_stream(stream_name = ‘tweetStream’, shard_count = 1)
# Each open shard can support up to 5 read transactions per second, up to a
# maximum total of 2 MB of data read per second. Each shard can support up to
# 1000 records written per second, up to a maximum total of 1 MB data written
# per second.

Set up AWS Lambda to coordinate the data flow
The Lambda function is our application’s backbone. We will:
1. Write the code that will process and route tweets2. Configure the Lambda execution policy (what is it allowed to do?)3. Add the Kinesis stream as the data source for the Lambda function

var snsMessageSubject = 'Respond to tweet';
var snsMessagePrefix = 'ML model '+mlModelId+': Respond to this tweet: https://twitter.com/0/status/';
var processRecords = function() {…} // Base64 decode the Kinesis payload and parse JSON
var callPredict = function(tweetData) {…} // Call Amazon ML real-time prediction API
var updateSns = function(tweetData) {…} // Publish CS-actionable tweets to SNS topic
var checkRealtimeEndpoint = function(err, data) {…} // Get Amazon ML endpoint URI

Let’s use the AWS Command Line Interface to request a prediction for this tweet:
aws machinelearning predict \
--predict-endpoint https://realtime.machinelearning.us-east-1.amazonaws.com \
--ml-model-id ml-tweets \
--record ‘<json_blob>’
