Amazon Machine Learning — Machine learning made easy for developers of any skill level

I can't wait to see how viable this is as the basis for a product. Same with all the other machine learning platforms like microsofts and intels.

A little late to the ML game, Microsoft has a done a great job with its ML studio on Azure, although to really create a robust MLP you still need to code a good amount into those containers. Wonder if Amazon will be able to go one step ahead of Azure.

Interested to hear people's experiences with AMZN Machine Learning also similar offerings from MSFT (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) and GOOG (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...). We spent a lot of time building open source (Apache 2) PredictionIO (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) to make it useful for real-world production usage not just toy ML problems.

For those looking to learn Machine Learning to build smart applications, BigML (https://bigml.com/) offers an alternative that requires no ML background. There is a wealth of documentation for you to dig in as you need and an official certification process as well. Disclosure: I work at BigML.
