Playing Nice: Using PMML, Python, R, and SAS for Production Analytics

Data scientists often use R and Python to train statistical and machine learning models. However, using these models in a production database or Hadoop platform can be difficult. This talk will present several strategies that pair R and Python with SAS and PMML to train sophisticated predictive models and deploy them to in-database and Hadoop environments to make predictions on new data. For a sneak peek, check out: https://github.com/sassoftware/enlighten-integration.
