I've been using H2O and autoML in my research on advertising effectiveness. Now with the Academic Program, we can use Driverless AI as an introduction to AI, and an illustration of modern enterprise use of AI for analyzing cross-sectional data, time-series data and NLP problems for teaching students: A dream come true!”
