Allow for auto-generated names of WDP assets

We seem to have adopted a convention where every dataset, notebook, pipeline, connector, etc. requires a user-supplied name before it can be created. I can see where the names are valuable in a large project over time but when you're just getting ...

Allowing job schedule on minutes interval

Currently in Watson Studio Local 1.2.3.1, we could only schedule with hours interval. So we could not for example, schedule job to run every 10 minutes.

Ability to see meaningful accuracy score for a regression model

When you run any sort of a regression model you get the results for the model compared by their RMSE, however, this usually does not serve as a meaningful metric for a DS user who wishes to understand, within the AutoAI platform (and without runni...
