Machine learning is cool stuff, but usually it requires a PhD-toting data scientist to figure out. PredictionIO is countering that with its_open source machine learning platform that lets developers add intelligence to their products without the need of a fancy degree. Describing itself as the “MySQL of prediction,” PredictionIO provides 20 pre-set algorithms that developers can start running on their data. Data scientists don’t have to feel excluded, either, as they can still dive in an tweak the algorithms to their liking. “We take care of the infrastructure, we retrain the model when new data comes in, we take care...
