A recent press release reports, “Skytree, the leader in Enterprise Machine Learning on big data, announces the release of Skytree 16.0 and Skytree’s Machine Learning as a Service offering. We continue our trend of increasing ease of use via unprecedented automation, further enabling non-data scientist users to access the power of enterprise grade machine learning, gain insights, and to add value to their business. Skytree Smart Search continues to deliver industry-leading automation for finding the most accurate models. This is accomplished in much fewer iterations than brute-force grid searches, by performing a mathematically optimal exploration of the hyper-parameter space. Skytree Smart Search delivers highly tuned models with comprehensive cross-validation in every step, and delivers reliable execution with automatic resource estimation for the powerful Skytree distributed algorithm implementations that are highly optimized for scale, performance and accuracy.”

The release goes on, “Skytree AutoModel provides all of the benefits of Skytree Smart Search across a unified search space of machine learning methods and their hyper-parameters. Skytree automation using Skytree Smart Search and Skytree AutoModel allow data scientists and data analysts to find better models, in significantly less time, with much less user effort when compared to brute force or manually configured grid searches, manual selection of methods, and manual tuning of model parameters. The two major changes in Skytree 16.0 are: 1) the addition of automatic featurization, and 2) a major redesign of the Skytree GUI.”
