Oracle Data Miner vs. Oracle Machine Learning vs. Python vs. Salford Predictive Modeler (SPM) Comparison Chart

Machine learning uncovers hidden patterns and insights in enterprise data, generating new value for the business. Oracle Machine Learning accelerates the creation and deployment of machine learning models for data scientists using reduced data movement, AutoML technology, and simplified deployment. Increase data scientist and developer productivity and reduce their learning curve with familiar open source-based Apache Zeppelin notebook technology. Notebooks support SQL, PL/SQL, Python, and markdown interpreters for Oracle Autonomous Database so users can work with their language of choice when developing models. A no-code user interface supporting AutoML on Autonomous Database to improve both data scientist productivity and non-expert user access to powerful in-database algorithms for classification and regression. Data scientists gain integrated model deployment from the Oracle Machine Learning AutoML User Interface.

The Salford Predictive Modeler® (SPM) software suite is a highly accurate and ultra-fast platform for developing predictive, descriptive, and analytical models. The Salford Predictive Modeler® software suite includes the CART®, MARS®, TreeNet®, Random Forests® engines, as well as powerful new automation and modeling capabilities not found elsewhere. The SPM software suite’s data mining technologies span classification, regression, survival analysis, missing value analysis, data binning and clustering/segmentation. SPM algorithms are considered to be essential in sophisticated data science circles. The SPM software suite‘s automation accelerates the process of model building by conducting substantial portions of the model exploration and refinement process for the analyst. We package a complete set of results from alternative modeling strategies for easy review.
