This is great. In some ways it reminds me of the recent "Software 2.0" posts around here -- make the code and architecting so easy that we begin teaching machines by creating data rather than writing code.

A lot of research has been done in that direction.

So anyone using these tools in live/production environment?

The link to Snorkel [1] is really interesting, labeling data in a low quality programmatic way, which is then fed through a neural network to produce high quality labels is really smart.

I like many of these ideas, they address real practical problems in the area and new research is always welcome. How this all will be packaged into a working environment is not clear to me but even the individual parts should be useful.

Would be interesting to hear any experiences. These researchers have background in Spark etc. so setting up might not be that difficult.

Yes, Snorkel and DeepDive look extremely useful. At my job we have a lot of data but it's unlabeled, it will cost millions of dollars to outsource it to India for labeling/data entry.

I always thought the Wolfram language was a good step toward "Software 2.0". It's a shame the language isn't open source.
