The age of machine learning is here, with computer systems now able to learn without being explicitly programmed. Join Apache SystemML project leader Luciano Resende to find out more about Apache SystemML and Declarative Machine Learning (DML). Machine learning (ML) is the capability of computers to learn without being explicitly programmed. Although the broad ideas around ML are well formulated, the field continues to rapidly gain interest due to the the vast proliferation of digital data and the ready availability of compute power to digest it all. The age of thinking machines is upon us. Apache SystemML advances machine learning in two very important ways. The Apache SystemML language, Declarative Machine Learning (DML), includes linear algebra primitives, statistical functions, and ML-specific constructs that make it easier and more natural to express ML algorithms. Algorithms can be expressed in either an R-like or a Python-like syntax. DML significantly increases the productivity of data scientists by providing full flexibility in expressing custom analytics as well as data independence from the underlying input formats and physical data representations. Second, Apache SystemML provides automatic optimization according to data and cluster characteristics to ensure both efficiency and scalability. Apache SystemML runs in MapReduce or Spark environments.

This webcast is part of developerWorks Open Tech Talks, a series of calls and demos where dW Open project owners peel back the covers of their open source projects, sharing functions, techniques, challenges, and goals.

The series is designed to help you understand more about the projects currently on developerWorks Open, introduce you to the developers, communities, and ecosystems that are driving open source innovation at IBM, and help you discover opportunities to use and contribute to these projects and connect with the innovators and communities behind them.
