Google Loves Machine Learning, Cloudera Acquires Startup: Big Data Roundup - InformationWeek

This week in big data we've got an acquisition by Hadoop distributor Cloudera, what Nvidia's CEO thinks of the state of AI, news out of the Adobe Summit 2016, Google's machine learning pitch, and more. Plus, we've got a quick look at a new book about applying statistics and analytics to college basketball. Let's start with the news from Cloudera. This week the company quietly acquired Sense, a big data cloud platform that lets data scientists collaborate with each other. "We launched Sense with the mission of helping data scientists and data engineers focus on what's important -- extracting value rather than managing infrastructure," wrote Sense founders Tristan Zajonc and Anand Patil in a blog post.
