Sagemaker Built-in Algorithms

Question

I am exploring the Sagemaker Built-in algorithms, and I am curious to learn more about the details of the algorithms. However, I am surprised that it is hard to find any references for the research background and implementation details in the numerous documents and tutorials for particular algorithms. If such information exists somewhere, I would highly appreciate a pointer. Thanks a lot in advance!

Accepted Answer

thanks for your interest in the built-in algorithms! You can find research papers in the documentation of many of them. And documentation page has a section "how it works" explaining the science of every algorithm. For example:
