HPE takes AI to the cloud with machine learning-as-a-service - TechRepublic

On Thursday, HPE announced the immediate commercial availability of HPE Haven OnDemand, a cloud platform that provides advanced machine-learning APIs, so that developers can build data-rich mobile and web applications. Colin Mahony heads up the HPE Big Data Platform, which includes products like Vertica, Idol, and Haven OnDemand. He said that some people in the enterprise don't embrace machine learning because they view it as requiring extensive understanding of both statistics and coding. And, with Haven OnDemand, they want to make it easier for people to take advantage of machine learning tools. "What we're trying to do is say here's a portfolio, initially these 60 APIs, where you can call in, in very simple protocols through these RESTful APIS, and you can leverage a lot of the really rich machine learning that we've done," Mahony said.
