Artificial intelligence o

This week #MapR announced a new solution called Quick Start Solution ( #QSS ), focusing on deep learning applications. MapR touts QSS as a distributed deep learning (DL) product and services offering that enables the training of complex deep learning algorithms at scale. Here's the idea: deep learning requires lots of data, and it is complex. If MapR's Converged Data Platform is your data backbone, then QSS gives you what you need to use your data for DL applications. It makes sense, and it is in line with MapR's strategy. #MapR is the first #Hadoop vendor with an offering that is marketed as what we'd call artificial intelligence ( #AI ) on Hadoop. But does AI on Hadoop make sense more broadly? And what are other Hadoop vendors doing there?
