Machine Learning

Machine Learning is a mandatory technology to build advanced data analysis and automate manual activities with excellent efficiency. It creates cognitive models that learn from the existing data, and perform predictions, probability calculations, classifications, identifications, and automation of "non-creative" human activities based on its self-adjusted algorithms.

In all scenarios, InterSystems IRIS acts as a data platform and environment for creating, executing, making available, and using these machine learning models. IRIS enables the use of ML from SQL commands (IntegratedML), execution of ML using Embedded Python and PMML(Predictive Model Markup Language). You can check how it functions in the following articles:

Embedded Python

Python is one of the most popular and commonly used programming languages in the world (https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/). InterSystems IRIS is a data platform open to all main programming languages. However, speaking about Python, this amazing language and its libraries are available for use everywhere in IRIS: in classes, SQL, and integrations/productions. For those who do not know or do not want to know ObjectScript (InterSystems programming language), it's a great option. See the following articles on how to do this:
