RAFIKI) provides AutoML services such as model construction, hyper-parameter tuning, model training and inference. Users can simply upload their datasets and configure the service to conduct training and then deploy the model for inference. As a cloud service system, SINGA manages the hardware resources and failure recovery. It speeds up hyper-parameter tuning by distributed tuning to achieve almost linear scalability.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Upcoming Releases:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>SINGA-easy (a.k.a. PANDA) allows people without much ML knowledge to use the technology with ease. SINGA-easy empowers a domain expert such as a doctor/clinician to fuse his domain knowledge into ML systems.</li>\n<li>SINGA-lite is being developed for edge computing and 5G environment</li>\n<li>SINGA-db is being developed as a self-driving data system for complex analytics.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Contributions to the project and community building are most welcome and\nappreciated.</p>\n<h2>2.
