Our vision is to develop a system to support cloud platforms on which users can easily analyze data and use AI/ML techniques provided as operators. Users with various backgrounds, irrespective of whether they know coding or not, can collaborate on the same project to construct a pipeline. Experienced users can use programming languages such as Python, R, Java, and Scala to implement customized computation logic. The platform allows users to pause the execution of a workflow to investigate the operator states, and resume the execution at a later time. The platform can be used by a research community to publish valuable resources such as data sets, workflows, and ML models to share their domain-specific knowledge and support reproducibility of scientific research. The platform also allows users to elastically request computing resources from public clouds for computationally-intensive tasks.
