Microsoft is taking the wraps off what it’s calling its “next generation of Azure Machine Learning” at its Ignite IT Pro conference in Orlando on September 25.

Among these tools are the Azure Machine Learning workbench, which officials describe as a cross-platform client for data wrangling and experiment management; an Azure Machine Learning Experimentation service and Azure Machine Learning Model Management service.

The Azure Machine Learning Workbench will complement the current Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio tool, officials said. The Workbench supports modeling in Python, PySpark and Scala and integrates with Visual Studio Code and PyCharm.

On the data-wrangling side, Microsoft is commercializing some of the work done by its Microsoft Research PROSE (Program Synthesis Using Examples” Research team. A data-wrangling tool codenamed “Pendleton” is part of what will provide the data-wrangling capabilities in the new Workbench, Microsoft execs confirmed.
