Microsoft launches a drag-and-drop machine learning tool – TechCrunch

Microsoft Today announced three new services that make the machine learning process easier. Jupyter-style notebooks for advanced users. Jupyter-style notebooks for advanced users. Jupyter-style notebooks for advanced users.

Getting started with learning machine is hard. Even to run the most basic of experiments. All of these new tools are needed to make the process easier.

The new interface for Azure 's automated machine learning tool. Do Users Users Users Users…………………. While most of this is automated, Microsoft stresses that the service provides "complete transparency into algorithms, so developers and data scientists can manually override and control the process."

For those who want a bit more control from the get-go, Microsoft also makes it easier for developers to build their network.

This tool, the Azure Machine Learning visual interface looks suspiciously like the existing Azure ML Studio, Microsoft's first stab at building a visual machine learning tool. Indeed, the two services look identical. The company never really has this service, though, and it seems that it does not really have anything to do with machine learning.

Microsoft says that this new version combines the best of Azure ML Studio with the Azure Machine Learning service. In practice, this tool is very similar to the Azure Machine Learning visual interface which is possible with the Azure Machine Learning service and adding services to security, deployment and lifecycle management capabilities.

The service provides an easy interface for cleaning up your data, training models with the help of different algorithms, evaluating them, finally, putting them into production.

While these first two services are clearly targeted, the new hosted notebooks in Azure Machine Learning are clearly geared towards the more experienced machine learning practitioner. The notebooks come pre-packaged with support for the Azure Machine Python Learning SDK and run in the company describes a "secure, enterprise-ready environment." While using these notebooks is not trivial, this new feature allows developers to quickly get started with the hassle of setting up a new development environment.
