Dataiku Academic Provides Free Enterprise-Quality Data Science Software to Students, Teachers, and Researchers

NEW YORK, May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Dataiku, the maker of the enterprise data science platform Dataiku Data Science Studio (DSS), has announced the Dataiku Academic Program – an initiative to provide completely free licensing, support, and learning resources for teachers, researchers, and students in data science and business analytics fields. The company looks to enable the next generation of data scientists by helping students learn data science concepts within Dataiku DSS, the software platform that companies around the world use to develop and run advanced data science solutions.

The platform allows users to leverage the fundamental data science coding languages (R, Python, SQL) as well as the most state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, open source, and big data technologies (Scala, Spark, Hadoop) to provide a complete tool for data science students, as well as their teachers. 

The visual interface of Dataiku DSS - further improved with the recent release of version 4.0 - empowers students with a less technical background to learn the data mining process, and build projects from raw data to predictive application, without having to write a single line of code.  In addition, real time collaboration allows students to work on group projects simultaneously or follow a professor's actions live.
