In reply to Tingting Zhu.

Hi Tingting. I would actually use SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning on Viya (VDMML) as the frame of reference to Enterprise Miner (EM). Viya is the framework on which VDMML runs.

As the Product Management lead for SAS Machine Learning products, I position VDMML as an evolution of EM. For years, EM has been the go-to data mining and machine learning tool for running end-to-end model tournaments, from feature engineering, selection, and extraction, modeling, and most importantly - deployment. As a client-server product, it enabled both desktop and server users to access this environment.

VDMML provides a web-based experience for data scientists to interactively explore, model, and deploy, using a robust set of machine learning, deep learning, and even text mining techniques. What you will find is that there are many more modern machine learning and deep learning techniques, in addition to expanded open source integration in VDMML.

With regards to the wonderful Model Studio blog that Christa wrote above, she has shown how intuitive, collaborative, and powerful VDMML can be. Model Studio is the 'pipeline' generator in VDMML, akin to the EM process flow. One of my favorite features of VDMML is 'The Exchange' that Christa referenced, for accessing best practice templates from SAS and your colleagues.

Finally, there is built in integration and migration in Model Studio, for ingesting supported EM batch code, so that you can use your EM flows as a good starting point.

Please let me know if we can help you out further.

Good luck!!
