With these new and improved features, Darwin enables data scientists, data and business analysts, software developers, and SMEs to prepare their datasets and custom-build models from scratch much faster than before. These models are tailored to the given dataset by considering its complex relationships and intricacies, and quickly evaluating hundreds of generations of model architectures to optimize from.

“We are incredibly proud of Darwin’s powerful capabilities and the significant innovation that has gone into the product. It is fast becoming the leading data science automation platform,” said Amir Husain, Founder and CEO at SparkCognition. “By using AI to build AI, Darwin reduces the cost of model development and allows our customers to implement AI at scale through their enterprise. Version 2.0 takes an already robust product to the next level.”
