About: A Spark package implementing algorithms for learning from crowdsourced big data.

Changes: - Minor improvements in code and documentation

About: A library of scalable Bayesian generalised linear models with fancy features

• 1.0 release!
• Now there is a random search phase before optimization of all hyperparameters in the regression algorithms. This improves the performance of revrand since local optima are more easily avoided with this improved initialisation
• Regression regularizers (weight variances) associated with each basis object, this approximates GP kernel addition more closely
• Random state can be set for all random objects
• Numerous small improvements to make revrand production ready
• Final report
• Documentation improvements

About: MLlib provides a distributed machine learning (ML) library to address the growing need for scalable ML. MLlib is developed in Spark (http://spark.incubator.apache.org/), a cluster computing system designed for iterative computation. Moreover, it is a component of a larger system called MLbase (www.mlbase.org) that aims to provide user-friendly distributed ML functionality both for ML researchers and domain experts. MLlib currently consists of scalable implementations of algorithms for classification, regression, collaborative filtering and clustering.
