IBM’s SystemML machine learning system becomes Apache Incubator project — from zdnet.com by Larry Dignan
There’s a race between tech giants to open source machine learning systems and become a dominant platform. Apache SystemML has clear enterprise spin.

Excerpt:

IBM on Monday said its machine learning system, dubbed SystemML, has been accepted as an open source project by the Apache Incubator.

What’s notable about IBM’s SystemML milestone is that open sourcing machine learning systems is becoming a trend. To wit:

  • Google recently open sourced its TensorFlow machine learning tool under an Apache 2.0 license.
  • Facebook has also contributed its machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to the Torch open source project.
