Development of A-driven predictable models for data in the real world typically requires expertise in data science, confidence in machine learning (ML) algorithms and a solid understanding of the model’s business context. The complete development cycle for data science applications – from data collection through model training and evaluation – can take days or even weeks.
Amazon Q developer in Sagemaker Canvas has been launched in a beta advance view of the RE: Invent 2024 and is generally available since February 28, 2025 and is a new generative-IA effect-power assistant that lets customers build and implement ML models in minutes by using only natural language-in-no-expert.
Q Developer has a Chatbot format; Customers describe their business problems and attaches data sets of interest. As an example, a customer may tell the assistant, “I am a credit risk analyst in a bank and want to classify loan applicants (standard, non-default) based on their financial characteristics and financial indicators”.
After describing the business problem, the customer can choose an existing data set; Create a new data set from S3, Redshift, SQL or Snowflake; Just upload a local CSV file. The data set is expected to be in table format and must contain the target column – the column to be predicted – and a set of function columns. If the problem involves the forecasts of time series, tabular datasets must also contain a timestamp column.
Once the data set is delivered, the Amazon Q developer guides the customer through the ML Model Building Process, while the Problery Step of ML Workflow.
Q Developer Assistant is an agent system that means an autonomous system that can act as an agent on the customer’s behalf. An LLM acts as the primary interface between the customer and the agent, and as the conversation progresses, the agent saves intermediate findings in a non-violent memory block. The memory block contains information such as rental of data sets, business context, problem type, names of function columns and target columns and ML tab function.
The memory block is implified as a dependent graph where each knot represents a variable problem, such as Problem_type,,,,,,,, Evaluation_metricalgold Target_column. Depending on graph structure, the agent helps derive a lack of variables needed for the construction of the ML model.
The Amazon Q developer automatically identifies the appropriate ML assignment type binary/multiclass classification, regression or time series forecasts from the problem description and suggests the appropriate loss function for the ML job, e.g. Cross-Enhusiastic loss, accuracy, F1 scores or precision and revocation of classification cups; Average square error (MSE), average absolute error (mae) or r2 loss for regression tasks; Or average square error, average absolutely scaled error (mash), average absolute percentage error (MAPE) or weight quantum loss (WQL) for time series forecasts.
To help the user navigate the steps of data preparation, model building and ML training, the agent suggests a few most likely next actions that appear as buttons. Through Next-Quéry suggestions, Q-Developer helps identify the lack of information about the data set and details of the underlying prediction task turned to the ML model building step.
After collecting all required inputs, Amazon Q developer builds in data processing pipeline on the rear and prepares the ensemble model for training. During pre-procedure, the agent solves any problem that it is encouraged to the data set to prepare it to train a high-quaaly ML model. This step may include data cleaning where missing values ​​are identified and automatically daughter; Coding of categorical function; Outlier handling; and removal of duplicate rows or columns
In addition, the user throughout the conversation can ask follow -up questions about the data set (eg the fraction of rows with lack of values ​​or the number of outliers) or dive deeper into model metrics and functional significance by utilizing data wrangles for advanced analysis and visualization.
To maximize the quality of prediction, Amazon Q developer uses an Automl approach and trains an ensemble of ML models (including XGBOOST, CATBOOST, Lightgbm, Linear Models, Neural-Network Models, etc.) instead of a single model. After the ensemble’s sub -models have been trained, they review hyperparameter optimization (HPO). Both functional technology and hyperparameters are automatically handled by the Automl algorithm and are abstracted away from the end user.
After the ensemble model is trained, the user can run inference on the test data set or implement the model as a sagemaker -infer cleaning point at just a few clicks. At this point, the user has access to an automatic generation of explainability report that helps the user visualize and understand the properties of the data set, function attribution results (functional significance), the model education process and the performance metrics.
