Machine learning & predictive analytics are core capabilities that are needed throughout your business
Microsoft Azure Machine LearningMicrosoft Azure Machine Learning, a fully-managed cloud service for building predictive analytics solutions, helps overcome the challenges most businesses have in deploying and using machine learning.
How? By delivering a comprehensive machine learning service that has all the benefits of the cloud.
Azure Ml brings together the capabilities of new analytics tools, powerful algorithms developed for Microsoft products like Xbox and Bing, and years of machine learning experience into one simple and easy-to-use cloud service.
How could data mining apply?
Let’s look at three companies
Telecommunications
Oil and Gas
Volkswagen Group
What Why How
Relational Data Warehouse
Data integrity, structure, fast, well-known, governance, fixed schemas
ETL, BIML, Index
Hadoop & HDInsightUnstructured data, large volumes of text, flexible schemas
Hbase, Map Reduce, HDFS
Tabular Fast analytics, agility, preserves types In-memory
MultidimensionalOLAP
Fast analytics, large data volumes Preaggregated calculations
Data Mining & Machine Learning
Complex analytics, discovery, predictive models, forecasting
Estimations
Integration with R•Data scientists can bring their existing assets in R and integrate them seamlessly into their Azure ML workflows.
•Using Azure ML Studio, R scripts can be operationalized as scalable, low latency web services on Azure in a matter of minutes!
•Data scientists have access to over 400 of the most popular CRAN packages, pre-installed. Additionally, they have access to optimized linear algebra kernels that are part of the Intel Math Kernel Library.
•Data scientists can visualize their data using R plotting libraries such as ggplot2.
•The platform and runtime environment automatically recognize and provide extensibility via high fidelity bi-directional dataframe and schema bridges, for interoperability.
•Developers can access common ML algorithms from R and compose them with other algorithms provided by the Azure ML platform.
