Marvin-AI is an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) platform that helps
data scientists, prototype and productionalize complex solutions with a
scalable, low-latency, language-agnostic, and standardized architecture
while simplifies the process of exploration and modeling.
Marvin-AI has been incubating since 2018-08-21.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Increase activity from current contributors and community.
2. Release a new architecture.
3. Documentation and new community roadmap.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
No.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
We now have 3 new interns that are actively contributing with the new
design document, and will continue to contribute in coding tasks.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We are preparing for a new release of the features added before the
architecture change. The main work was in the design document that has
ideas to modernize Apache Marvin-AI's architecture.
