An Introduction to the Portable Format for Analytics (PFA)

The Portable Format for Analytics (PFA) is an emerging standard for predictive analytics that addresses some of the limitations of the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) and was designed for today’s big data environments, including Hadoop, Storm and Spark. In this talk, I give an introduction to PFA and describe some applications that use it.

Robert Grossman is the Founder and a Partner at Open Data Group, which has building predictive models over big data for its clients since 2002. He is also the Chief Research Information Officer (CRIO) and a Professor in the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of Chicago, where he leads a research group in bioinformatics with a focus in managing and analyzing large genomic datasets for advancing the understanding of human disease.
