Computer uses algorithms to decide what relationships to study in big data sets, outperforms humans

MIT researchers aim to take the human element out of big-data analysis, with a new system that not only searches for patterns but designs the feature set, too. To test the first prototype of their system, they enrolled it in three data science competitions, in which it competed against human teams to find predictive patterns Read more about Computer uses algorithms to decide what relationships to study in big data sets, outperforms humans[…]
