SAP gets the machine learning bug

SAP uncovered its machine learning arsenal at this week's TechEd event in Barcelona. In an approach that is similar to Microsoft's, it is infusing machine learning across its business applications and making services available to encourage partners to build the techniques into their HANA built applications. Wherever you look there appears to be a machine learning element. There is a newly developed SAP Machine Learning Platform which will be available to partners and developers next year. The new HANA 2 features analytics improvements with new processing engines for text, spatial, graph and streaming data, driven by newly added classification, association, time series and regression machine learning algorithms.
