The police officers had foreknowledge of the crime, thanks to psychic technology. I started thinking to myself, what technology do we have today that can predict crime? Machine learning of course. Machine learning is the process a machine goes through to study and learn from past data in order to make predictions about the future. So, I set out to build precrime using Amazon's SageMaker. Minority Report inspired the crime fighting machine learning model we create during this course. I will show you the process I used, step by step. Data, specifically past crime data is key when training or teaching a machine learning model. Now I know I've used the term model several times, but what is it exactly? You could think…
