In combination with its market-leading data visualization approach for building, exploring and segmenting data, and building explainable predictive models, Altair Knowledge Studio for Apache Spark&tradel enables data science teams to build machine learning models from data located in distributed file systems without having to code. Data preparation and profiling allows for easy data extraction and manipulation. Knowledge Studio’s efficient use of compute resources, especially in cloud environments, shortens processing cycles and reduces costs. Large datasets with billions of rows and thousands of columns can be efficiently mined for better decision intelligence.
