Benefits of bringing Machine Learning to the database

Globally, stored data is predicted to reach around 175 zettabytes (ZB) by the end of 2025 from the current estimate of 40ZB. When we look at statistics like this, we can see that the data’s growth rate is exploding faster than ever.

Globally, stored data is predicted to reach around 175 zettabytes (ZB) by the end of 2025 from the current estimate of 40ZB. When we look at statistics like this, we can see that the data’s growth rate is exploding faster than ever. Some recent research on about data statistics, sheds some interesting facts:

  • Google has around 1.2 trillion searches per year which equated to about about 40,000 search queries per second.
  • Netflix’s AI Recommendation Engine saves it $1 billion per year.
  • WhatsApp is delivering around 100 billion messages a day.
  • It would take approximately 181 million years to download all the data from the internet.
  • 47% of all global retail sales are made online.

By quickly looking at all of these stats, one thing that is for sure is that there is a massive amount of data produced every day, and this data will increase exponentially in the next few years. 

How can we divide up this data?

We can classify this data into three different types:

Structured data

In simple terms, this data, as the name indicates, is well organized (structured). The information is clear, formatted, and has been transformed into a data model. The perfect example of this type of data is SQL relational database tables, which consist of rows and columns.

Unstructured data

Unstructured data is information that doesn’t follow any particular format and is presented in raw form (not organized). Examples of this type of data include documents, recorded audio, video, unstructured system logs, posts or tweets from social media, email messages, etc.

Semi-structured data

Data that doesn’t fit into one of the above types may be partially structured and contain tags or other markers that give it a self-describing structure. Examples of semi-structured data include XML, OEM, and JSON  formats.

For now, we know that there is a huge amount of data out there, and we know how that data is structured or otherwise. Now, the question is, What can we do with all of that data?

Wouldn’t it be perfect if we were able to understand and analyze actual phenomena within that data?

Turning business data into knowledge

A significant portion of today’s critical data is structured data generated from business applications and held in company databases. However, most businesses don’t use this data as decision-making input to boost and optimize its performance within the organization. In fact, between 60% and 73% of all data within an enterprise goes unused for analytics. The critical thing to appreciate here is that it is not about how much data a business has, but what they do with it. So, how can we improve this and shift from data-generation to data-powered business intelligence?

Introducing a new concept – AI Tables

Databases are the source of clean business data, which is a fundamental ingredient for Machine Learning (ML). AI Tables brings Machine Learning capabilities straight to the database by automating the pipeline for applying Machine Learning directly to business data sources. This reduces Machine Learning complexity and saves time by minimizing data movement between layers (shown below). 

Traditional Applied ML vs. MindsDB with AI-Tables

How AI Tables work

AI Tables can generate predictions upon being queried as if the data was present in the table. It uses the same tools as your database, the same language; it is automated, explainable, and customizable and doesn’t require ML expertise. It works with most effective data management systems available on the market:PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, MongoDB, MsSQL, and data warehouses like Snowflake.

Conclusion

So what are the benefits for your business of bringing Machine Learning to the database by using MindsDB’s AI Tables?

  • Automate the complete pipeline from data source to deployed model.
  • Minimize data movement between layers, which saves time and costs.
  • Easily train and query the models directly from the database.
  • Cost and timescale reduction  – no need for a full team of skilled data science experts.
  • Smart decisions by using MindsDB’s explainability.

Making open source JavaScript pay

Image
Money isn’t everything to the success of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Or is it? Looking at the  2019 State of JavaScript report , something stands out: Money apparently can’t buy everything. Or, at least, not every major front-end and back-end programming framework is sponsored by a big company. Sure, we have Google to thank for  Angular , and Facebook gets credit for  React , but what about  Vue.js ? Or Gatsby? Or Next.js? While these (and other) open source projects do seem to suggest a future without Big Corps shoveling Big Money into open source, the reality is a bit more nuanced. For the developers looking to pay their way through open source, however, reality isn’t nuanced at all. For every Vue.js founder  Evan You making $16,000 per month with Patreon contributions , there are thousands of developers struggling to scrape together $16 for the important open source work they’re doing.

How artificial intelligence is making the education system more relevant?

Image
Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is imparted in students with varied interests and capabilities. When we think of artificial intelligence, there is a hardwired imagery of gigantic thinking machines working in sci-fi environment. This imagery often comes from the science fiction that we have been watching or reading since childhood. However, deep diving suggests that artificial intelligence is an advanced form of algorithm that empowers machines to emulate human behavior under real life situations. Today, there is no industry untouched by the ripples caused by artificial intelligence. Education sets the foundation of human behavior. Educational ecosystem is formed by knowledge base, teaching skills and experience, learning capability, and evolving teaching methods. Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way educat...

What Is Brutalism in Web Design?

Image
3   min read   Brutalism is a special breed of web design, working well for quirky, creative brands and individuals. However, this rule-bending design technique must be employed with care. Read this guide to find out how. Brutalism is one of those trends that seems to come and go in web design. It’s not because there isn’t much value in brutalist design. It’s more that it doesn’t always fit with the style and tone of the times.  That’s part of what makes brutalism so intriguing though. When most websites tend to fall in line and adopt the same basic trends from year to year, a website that doesn’t play by the rules can easily steal the spotlight.  You just need to know whether that’s the right kind of light you want to shine on the brand. Brutalism can sometimes come off as cold and somber. If it’s not properly executed or not used for the right kind of brand, it can send the wrong signals to website visitors.  In this guide to brutalism in web design, we’l...
