In-database Distributed Machine Learning: Demonstration using Teradata SQL Engine.

Machine learning has enabled many interesting applications and is extensively being used in big data systems. The popular approach - training machine learning models in frameworks like Tensorflow, Pytorch and Keras - requires movement of data from database engines to analytical engines, which adds an excessive overhead on data scientists and becomes a performance bottleneck for model training. In this demonstration, we give a practical exhibition of a solution for the enablement of distributed machine learning natively inside database engines. During the demo, the audience will interactively use Python APIs in Jupyter Notebooks to train multiple linear regression models on synthetic regression datasets and neural network models on vision and sensory datasets directly inside Teradata SQL Engine.
