The >>project >> was started in a company where open-source culture is foundational. B2W >> Digital runs the largest e-commerce in Latin America on top of >>open-source >> projects. >> >> === Reliance on Salaried Developers === >> >> Marvin AI receives substantial efforts from salaried developers -- a >>few of >> which were hired by companies to work exclusively for the project -- but >> the majority devote "after-hours" or spare time to this project. Some >> developers are graduate students that contribute in their free time at >> school. >> >> === Relationships with Other Apache Products === >> >> Marvin integrates with several Apache products, such as Hadoop (HDFS) >>and >> Spark. Marvin shares some similar features with PredictionIO, >>specifically >> the model application server and a design pattern that was inspired by >>the >> DASE. Despite these similarities, Marvin is catered towards a different >> clientele (data scientists), and for that reason, it includes many >>critical >> features that are not provided by PredictionIO. >> >> === An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand === >> >> While the ASF brand will undoubtedly help Marvin become a successful >> project, Marvin is already gaining traction at companies around the >>globe. >> >> == Documentation == >> >> http://www.marvin-ai.org >> >> >> == Initial Source == >> >> The current codebase is available at http://github.com/marvin-ai. This >>is >> practically the same code that will be migrating to the Apache >>Foundation, >> the notable difference being that the multiple repositories will be >>merged >> into a single repository (if necessary). >> >> These are the main repositories and a very simplified explanation about >> each one: >> >> '''Main repositories''' >> >> * marvin-ai/marvin-python-toolbox - Data Science toolbox that helps in >> the >> creation of new ML engines >> * marvin-ai/marvin-engine-executor - Component responsible for >> interpreting, serving and managing Marvin engines >> * marvin-ai/marvin-public-engines - Marvin engine examples to help new >> Marvin users to build engines >> * marvin-ai/marvin-platform-book - Documentation in GitHub book site >> format >> >> '''Secondary repositories (Experimental and Initial)''' >> * marvin-ai/marvin-vagrant-dev - Development environment that uses >> VirtualBox and vagrant to non mac and Linux users; >> * marvin-ai/marvin-paper - Source code (latex format) of the first >>Marvin >> paper published in PAPIS.io conference in Boston. >> * marvin-ai/marvin-cluster-admin - Admin module responsible to manage >> Marvin cluster; >> * marvin-ai/marvin-automl - AutoML module responsible to help data >> scientist to build machine learning models with a very simple visual >> interface; >> >> >> == External Dependencies == >> >> It is very likely that all our dependencies are using either the Apache >>or >> MIT license.
