Simplify - Data Analytics and Machine Learning Made Simple

The main goal of the session is to showcase approaches that greatly simplify the work of a data analyst when performing data analytics, or when employing machine learning algorithms, over Big Data. The session will include presentations on:

• How data analytics workflows can be easily and graphically composed, and then optimized for execution
• How raw data with great variety can be easily queried using SQL interfaces, and
• How complex machine learning operations can be performed efficiently in distributed settings.

After these presentations, the speakers will participate in a discussion with the audience, in order to discuss further tools that could make the work of a data analyst more simple.‍
