MATLAB for Machine Learning

Discover patterns and build predictive models with engineering, manufacturing, and financial data

Using MATLAB®, engineers and other domain experts have deployed thousands of applications for predictive maintenance, sensor analytics, finance, and communication electronics. MATLAB makes the hard parts of machine learning easy with: 

  • Point-and-click apps for training and comparing models
  • Advanced signal processing and feature extraction techniques
  • Automatic hyperparameter tuning and feature selection to optimize model performance
  • The ability to use the same code to scale processing to big data and clusters 
  • Automated generation of C/C++ code for embedded and high-performance applications
  • All popular classification, regression, and clustering algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning
  • Faster execution than open source on most statistical and machine learning computations
