Quick Review of Amazon Machine Learning Using Amazon Redshift as a Data Source FlyData

Yesterday, AWS announced Amazon Machine Learning, which is set to vastly expand the number of companies that will perform machine learning on their data. The benefits of using Amazon Machine Learning is that we can use AWS's internal algorithms at low cost. With this service, data scientists should be able to save time by not writing complex algorithms on their own. The service detects useful prediction models based on your data, so as long as you have basic skills in statistical methods and to read charts, you can benefit from these algorithms. AWS mentions that they have based Amazon Machine Learning on ML technology they have been using internally, so we can imagine that it will scale quite well depending on the amount of data involved.
