IBM develops machine learning platform with open source support - Open Source For You

As enterprises are becoming smarter nowadays, IBM has extracted the core machine learning technology from its Watson cognitive system and brought a native platform. The new machine learning platform is designed to run at scale through open source support. IBM is planning to bring its machine learning platform first to the z System mainframe that has already been used by a large number of organisations worldwide to handle "billions of daily transactions" from banks, retailers, insurers, transportation firms and governments. The solution is claimed to support any transactional data type and work with open source technologies like Java, Python. Additionally, there is support for machine learning frameworks such as Apache SparkML, TensorFlow and H2O that all are maintained by the developer community.
