Google Loves Machine Learning, Cloudera Acquires Startup: Big Data Roundup

This week in big data we've got an acquisition by #Hadoop distributor #Cloudera, what #Nvidia 's CEO thinks of the state of AI, news out of the Adobe Summit 2016, #Google 's machine learning pitch, and more. Plus, we've got a quick look at a new book about applying statistics and analytics to college basketball.

Let's start with the news from Cloudera. This week the company quietly acquired Sense, a big data cloud platform that lets data scientists collaborate with each other.

"We launched Sense with the mission of helping data scientists and data engineers focus on what's important -- extracting value rather than managing infrastructure," wrote Sense founders Tristan Zajonc and Anand Patil in a blog post. "As the quantity of data explodes and machine learning pushes computing to new limits, this mission has only become more important."
