Donald Szeto introduces Apache PredictionIO, an open source machine learning server for developers and ML engineers. He discusses why there is a need for PredictionIO, provides a quick demo, and digs deeper into key concepts like DASE (Data, Algorithm, Serving, Evaluation), engine instances, and engine variants. Szeto also outlines the current development focus, future roadmap, and calls for the community's help to further develop PredictionIO.
