SAS Machine Learning

SAS^® Machine Learning

Combining data preparation, feature engineering, modern statistical and machine learning techniques in a single, scalable in-memory processing environment to develop, test and deploy models. SAS Machine Learning on SAS^® Cloud supports the entire machine learning process.

Key Features of SAS Machine Learning

Support for data scientists who prefer accessing the SAS^® Viya^® platform through a programming interface using either the SAS or Python programming languages.
Algorithms that take advantage of ubiquitous parallel computing architectures for fast, accurate results.
Advanced optimization techniques to adjust large combinations of hyperparameter settings and return the optimal set automatically for the data scientist.
Gradient boosting with automated iterative search for optimal partitioning of data, automated generation of weighted averages and stopping criteria.
Factorization machines that apply full pairwise tensor factorization and are enabled for warm restarts to update the model with new transactions without a full retrain.
SAS Deep Learning actions, which are cloud-enabled SAS CAS actions released with SAS Viya 3.4. The actions are delivered as part of SAS Machine Learning.
Code snippets for quickly inserting SAS code into your program and customizing it to meet your needs. Create your own snippets and add snippets to your list of favorites.
Ability to have data scientists with varied programmatic skill sets contribute, taking advantage of existing personnel knowledge with a native interface to Python and the SAS programming language.
