Alteryx Unveils New Software Features, Community Experience And. More At This Year’s Inspire Event

Don’t worry if you didn’t participate in this year’s Alteryx Inspire event. We have to say, it was a great performance as a virtual event from everyone who attended, both sponsors (ourselves and many others alike), speakers and general attendees! Now that Inspire is over. Alteryx have unveiled some BIG news in the data analytics, automation and data science world, so grab a coffee, sit back, relax and get ready for your informative read of the week….

ALTERYX MACHINE LEARNING

Alteryx Machine Learning is a new product that launched during the event last week. It provides guided, explainable, and fully automated machine learning, allowing both analysts and data scientists to easily leverage the latest ML (machine learning) algorithms and data science best practices to drive analytics maturity into their enterprise. Innovations include:

  • Fully guided AutoML and ready-to-use machine learning models

  • Feature Engineering and Deep Feature Synthesis for highly accurate predictions

  • Automated Insight Generation to uncover hidden factors and key relationships in complex data

  • An ‘Education Mode’ and data science best practices, making ML easy and accessible to everyone

Nathan Taylor, CIO of Symphony Care Network says ‘Alteryx Machine Learning is so valuable - it empowers analysts to create valuable machine learning models on their own. Our data science leads can then easily validate and promote the models into production.’
