Attention Tableau Users!
Tableau Partner

We’re excited to let you know that BigML has become a Tableau Technology Partner. Through this collaboration we will be working to identify ways that users of both tools can have a more seamless and powerful experience. As a first step, we’ve already launched a new feature that lets you export your BigML model directly to Tableau as a calculated field – you can see this in action here

We’re eager to hear from BigML users who are also Tableau customers so that we can get your feedback and provide you with early access to future implementations. If you’re willing and interested to share your perspective with us, please email tableau@bigml.com 
New Feature: Open & Improved Sunburst
Embed Sunburst

We often get requests to bring BigML’s visualizations into webpages, reports, etc. We’re happy to let you know that you can now embed the Sunburst visualization – meaning that you can publish and share an interactive view of your predictive models in your own web applications. Read the post here to learn more!

Machine Learning Explained: A simple Machine Learning Method to Detect Covariate Shift

Over time it is common for the performance of a predictive model to degrade when the distribution generating the new data varies from the distribution that generated the data used to train the model. Read this blog post to see how you can use machine learning to learn whether your models will be performing well over time or not.

New Video Resources
New Video Resources

If a picture is worth a thousand words, we think that videos that quickly show you how to get the most out of BigML are absolutely invaluable.  Check out this video on “Fast Model training with BigML,” this video on “Easy Predictive Modeling with BigML and Tableau,” and also our archived webinars and related content on our training page.  

BigML "Supermodels"
BigML "Supermodels"

While Sports Illustrated is busy celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Swimsuit edition, we’re happy to let you know BigML has some good looking models of our own in our Gallery that you can check out and clone into your modeling dashboard. Check out this model predicting sentiment from the United States’ General Social Survey on whether Atheists should be allowed to teach college, or this model predicting the computing language for machine learning repos on Github. 

Do you have a killer model of your own? Share it in our gallery and let us know – if we like it we’ll highlight it in a future newsletter or blog post!
