Software platform for data science
Watson Studio, formerly Data Science Experience or DSX, is IBM’s software platform for data science. The platform consists of a workspace that includes multiple collaboration and open-source tools for use in data science.
In Watson Studio, a data scientist can create a project with a group of collaborators, all having access to various analytics models and using various languages (R/Python/Scala). Watson Studio brings together staple open source tools including RStudio, Spark and Python in an integrated environment, along with additional tools such as a managed Spark service and data shaping facilities, in a secure and governed environment.
Watson Studio provides access to data sets that are available through Watson Data Platform, on-premises or on the cloud. The platform also has a large community and embedded resources such as articles on the latest developments from the data science world and public data sets. The platform is available in on-premises, cloud, and desktop forms.
