| Microsoft gets into the prediction game Microsoft will soon offer a service aimed at making machine-learning technology more widely usable which will mean that it can stick its foot in the door of predictive technology. Apparently the prediction game has gone beyond slicing open a ram while facing the Alban hills but for computer programming to do it, the developers need skills in machine learning. Eron Kelly, Microsoft corporate vice president and director SQL Server marketing, said Microsoft Azure Machine Learning will be launched in beta in July. "The line of business owners and the marketing teams really want to use data to get ahead, but data volumes are getting so large that it is difficult for businesses to sift through it all," Kelly said. Machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence, and it uses algorithms so that computers recognise behaviour in large and streaming data sets. It can be superior to traditional forms of business intelligence in that it offers a way to predict future events and behaviour based on past actions. http://news.techeye.net/business/mic...rediction-game |
