v1.1-alpha

DOC: docs using examples

Frosted with Sprinkles

This is the first stable release of NEXT, a system for easily creating and deploying machine learning experiments. A summary of the improvements from prior versions can be found in #127.

Future Improvements:

• Create a separate yaml file for the dashboard that describes the API for various stat_id's. Currently all the inputs to all stat_id's are described in params of the get_stats command in the MyApp.yaml file. This is confusing.
• Documentation and tutorials are in progress
• Uniformize the interfaces to apps and algorithms ("target_id" rather than "target_index", etc.)
• Remove app_id from experiment_dashboard endpoint
• Make naming/casing convention consistent throughout API
• Rename daemonProcess in dashboards (to "asyncJob" or similar)
• Improve mechanism for timing app/alg calls
