IBM opens first Machine Learning (ML) hub in Bengaluru

Software major IBM opened its first ''Machine Learning (ML) Hub'' in Bengaluru in a bid to provide a physical space to organisations for hands-on training on machine learning. The hub will provide opportunities for data professionals, business analysts and engineers to work with IBM's data science experts and understand the technology that allows visualisation, analysis and interpretation of data.

''Machine Learning' termed by IBMer decades ago has evolved significantly. Today, it is the entry point to the cognitive era, enabling enterprises to drive critical insights. With India's focus on digitisation, it's an apt time for organisations to make this transition,'' said Gaurav Sharma, vice president, IBM India Software Labs and vice president, Growth IBM India & South Asia.

IBM 'ML Hub' also offers a platform for like-minded enterprises to collaborate and transform their data science processes. The company operates similar 'ML Hubs' in Toronto, San Jose, California, at IBM's Silicon Valley Lab, Beijing, and Boblingen, Germany.

''With India's focus on Digitization, it's an apt time for organizations to make this transition. IBM Machine Learning hub reiterates our mission to partner and prepare enterprises for the cognitive era by unleashing the potential of machine learning through models that are constantly improving by analyzing new data to generate real-time results which benefit businesses,'' Sharma added.
