What it does
H2O is a machine-learning platform that runs in memory and can spread work across many computers. It includes common methods such as deep learning, gradient boosting, random forests and AutoML, which tries many models automatically to find a good one.
You can use it from Python, R, Scala or Java, or through Flow, its notebook-style web interface. It works with big-data systems like Hadoop and Spark.
Finished models can be downloaded and used in other software for making predictions.
Who it's for
Data scientists and engineers who build prediction models, especially on large datasets.
