Prepare data

Note

Previously, Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler was part of the SageMaker Studio Classic experience. Now, if you update to using the new Studio experience, you must use SageMaker Canvas to access Data Wrangler and receive the latest feature updates. If you have been using Data Wrangler in Studio Classic until now and want to migrate to Data Wrangler in Canvas, you might have to grant additional permissions so that you can create and use a Canvas application. For more information, see Migrate from Data Wrangler in Studio Classic to SageMaker Canvas.

Use Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler in Amazon SageMaker Canvas to prepare, featurize and analyze your data. You can integrate a Data Wrangler data preparation flow into your machine learning (ML) workflows to simplify and streamline data pre-processing and feature engineering using little to no coding. You can also add your own Python scripts and transformations to customize workflows.

  • Data Flow – Create a data flow to define a series of ML data prep steps. You can use a flow to combine datasets from different data sources, identify the number and types of transformations you want to apply to datasets, and define a data prep workflow that can be integrated into an ML pipeline.

  • Transform – Clean and transform your dataset using standard transforms like string, vector, and numeric data formatting tools. Featurize your data using transforms like text and date/time embedding and categorical encoding.

  • Generate Data Insights – Automatically verify data quality and detect abnormalities in your data with Data Wrangler Data Quality and Insights Report.

  • Analyze – Analyze features in your dataset at any point in your flow. Data Wrangler includes built-in data visualization tools like scatter plots and histograms, as well as data analysis tools like target leakage analysis and quick modeling to understand feature correlation.

  • Export – Export your data preparation workflow to a different location. The following are example locations:

    • Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket

    • Amazon SageMaker Feature Store – Store the features and their data in a centralized store.

  • Automate data preparation – Create machine learning workflows from your data flow.

    • Amazon SageMaker Model Building Pipelines – Build workflows that manage your SageMaker data preparation, model training, and model deployment jobs.

    • Serial inference pipeline – Create a serial inference pipeline from your data flow. Use it to make predictions on new data.

    • Python script – Store the data and their transformations in a Python script for your custom workflows.
