MLbase: A User-friendly System for Distributed Machine Learning. Machine learning (ML) and statistical techniques are key to transforming big data into actionable knowledge. In spite of the modern primacy of data, the complexity of existing ML algorithms is often overwhelming-many users do not understand the trade-offs and challenges of parameterizing and choosing between different learning techniques. Furthermore, existing scalable systems that support machine learning are typically not accessible to ML researchers without a strong background in distributed systems and low-level primitives.
'We are part of the Machine Perception Research organization at Google which tackles the hard problems of understanding images, sounds, music and video. Our long-term technology mission is to enable machines to achieve human-level intelligence in sensory perception, often at super-human scales. '
