Alteryx Acquires Feature Labs

ALTERYX ACQUIRES FEATURE LABS TO ADVANCE MACHINE LEARNING FOR THE ENTERPRISE

A data science software company launched out of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that automates feature engineering for machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

Feature Labs’ feature engineering capabilities, combined with the ease of use of the Alteryx Platform, creates an environment that further accelerates time-to-insight and time-to-value for analysts and data scientists alike.

"Alteryx maintains its leadership in the market by continuing to evolve its best-in-class, code-free and code-friendly platform to anticipate and meet the demands of the 54 million data workers worldwide2.

Good purchase to add more ML and AI to an already excellent platform!!!
