Smart Software in the Cloud
May 3, 2015
If you have a need for analytics in the cloud, you may want to review the list of vendors in “10+ Cloud Machine Learning Platforms.” The list, assembled by a mid tier consulting firm, is eclectic. Amazon, Google, IBM Watson, and Microsoft are listed. Also included are services from Wise and BigML. The services are described with one major omission: The degree of technical expertise required. I assume that when one wants to “do” a machine learning project, the requisite statistical and programming skills are at hand. The challenge to the customer of these services may be significant.
