BigML Milestones

BigML has been at the forefront of the Machine Learning revolution since 2010, when the BigML founding team realized that it was the perfect time to make Machine Learning accessible and understandable for everyone. Staying true to our "hype-free" best practices approach, BigML has developed the world's leading Machine Learning platform. Here is a timeline of how BigML has evolved since our founding in January of 2011 until our most recent milestone.
