Matthew Finnegan and Christina Mercer recently wrote in ComputerWorld UK, “With businesses increasingly keen on incorporating artificial intelligence into their operations, machine learning – the ability for a system to learn from large data sets rather than following preset rules – offers a number of benefits. This might mean building predictive models for fraud prevention, for example, or personalising content on a website. The opportunity is not lost on many of the major tech firms Google, Microsoft, IBM and AWS all offer machine learning capabilities. Here are some of the top machine learning tools to get started with artificial intelligence in the enterprise.”

Their list includes, “Microsoft’s machine learning toolkit aims to ease crowded machine learning clusters, making running multiple (and differing) machine learning applications at the same time easier. Microsoft reduces traffic by providing each node within a cluster with a cache. This will ultimately reduce traffic to the central node.”

It goes on, “The Watson Analytics cloud service was unveiled in 2014 as part of IBM’s plans to turn Watson from a part-time game show contestant into a bona fide enterprise software proposition. It aims to help organisations that have little or no experience of predictive analytics put their business data to good use. IBM had already launched its Watson Developer Cloud – in 2013 – offering access to APIs via its Bluemix platform as a service cloud, allowing developers to create their own applications based on Watson’s smarts.”

They add, “It is not only big IT firms that are moving into artificial intelligence in the cloud. BigML is one of a number of startups in the market. Founded in Oregon in 2011, BigML offers a simple user interface, allowing users to upload data sets to start making predictions.”
