SynapseML (previously known as MMLSpark), is an open-source library that simplifies the creation of massively scalable machine learning (ML) pipelines. It is an ecosystem of tools used to expand the Apache Spark framework in several new directions. SynapseML unifies several existing machine learning frameworks and new Microsoft algorithms into a single, scalable API that’s usable across Python, R, Scala, .NET, and Java.  In this podcast, we invited one our favorite software engineers at Microsoft, Mark Hamilton who has not just been a part of Synapse team but also has been an author / creator of some great research work.
