The Rise of Machine Learning-as-a-Service

Their uses once seemed far off for companies, but with the introduction of Machine Learning-as-a-Service (MLaaS), data science is being brought to the masses. Machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, is the process of using self-iterating algorithms to analyse massive amounts of data by learning from the information and processing it with minimal supervision. Essentially, machines can learn from themselves through advanced algorithms data scientists create. This technology has implications across all fields, which is why financial institutions, health services, and more are all scrambling to hire skilled data scientists. Given the demand for machine learning services, MLaaS offerings have recently sprouted up to meet this need.
