Microsoft just announced three new services designed to simplify machine learning. The series starts with a new interface to create models automatically, continues with a visual tool for building models and ends with hosted Jupyter-style notebooks.
By using these new tools, you can bypass writing code altogether when creating models or writing your own code with a pre-configured platform.
The new Azure interface simply asks you to import a data set and twait for the system to predict a value. Therefore, you don’t need to write a line of code anymore. Plus, the updated version with new algorithms makes the results even more precise, therefore offering more accurate models.
Although all of this happens automatically, Microsoft says there is “complete transparency into algorithms, so developers and data scientists can manually override and control the process.”
The company also offered a preview of the visual interface for its Azure Machine Learning service. This will allow developers to work on models without the need to use any code.
Apparently, the tool is very much like the existing Azure ML Studio, Microsoft’s first attempt at building a visual machine learning tool. Although almost identical, the company said the new tool brings the best of Azure ML Studio with the Azure Machine Learning service.
The first two services are meant to help the beginners, while the new hosted notebooks are designed for the more experienced practitioners.
The notebooks are available pre-packaged and feature support for the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK.
