For years, the researchers have been developing an interactive data-science system called Northstar, which runs in the cloud but has an interface that supports any touchscreen device, including smartphones and large interactive whiteboards. Users feed the system datasets, and manipulate, combine, and extract features to uncover trends and patterns. In a paper being presented at the ACM SIGMOD conference, the researchers detail a new component of Northstar, called VDS for "virtual data scientist," that instantly generates machine-learning models to run prediction tasks on their datasets.
