ModelDB aims to keep track of machine learning modeling process - TotalCIO

BOSTON – Sam Madden, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, is hoping to help advance the field of machine learning from dark art to principled science with an open source project. ModelDB, available on GitHub, is essentially a database system designed to help organize and manage machine learning models. "These models are the engines of machine learning," Madden said at the MassIntelligence conference, hosted by MassTLC and MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. "They are the things that take the data and extract the insight out of it." When researchers build machine learning models, the process is highly iterative.
