JADBio AutoML
JADBio
JADBio is a state-of-the-art automated Machine Learning Platform without the need for coding. With its breakthrough algorithms it can solve open problems in machine learning. Anybody can use it and perform a sophisticated and correct machine learning analysis even if they do not know any math, statistics, or coding. It is purpose-built for life science data and particularly molecular data. This means that it can deal with the idiosyncrasies of molecular data such as very low sample size and very high number of measured quantities that could reach to millions. Life scientists need it to understand what are the features and biomarkers that are predictive and important, what is their role, and get intuition about the molecular mechanisms involved. Knowledge discovery is often more important than a predictive model. So, JADBio focuses on feature selection and its interpretation.Starting Price: Free -

JSCAD
JSCAD
JSCAD is an open-source set of modular, browser, and command line tools for creating parametric 2D and 3D designs with Javascript code. It provides a quick, precise and reproducible method for generating 3D models, and is especially useful for 3D printing applications. There are different 'flavors' of JSCAD that you can use based on your needs. JSCAD is a solids modeling system. It is fundamentally unitless, however, when you export files, typically 1 unit in JSCAD corresponds to 1 millimeter in your model file. Modeling in JSCAD is often a case of building the shape you want out of primitives, but there are often many different options to get the same shape. Check out the examples on the JSCAD app's info menu to learn about the different capabilities. Booleans are one of the most important tools in the solid modeling toolkit. Many of the shapes that you will need to create on your journey can be created by joining, subtracting and intersecting simple shapes.Starting Price: Free -
