Training Machine Learning Models with PostgreSQL Data

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL (a.k.a. Postgres) is a free and open-source relational database management system that is widely used by developers. It is highly customizable and has many useful features for developers. PostgreSQL is one of the most widely-used free and open-source relational database management systems that focus primarily on SQL compliance and extensibility. PostgreSQL offers true community-driven development, extensibility, strong SQL compliance, and useful features such as table inheritance and function overloading.

Machine Learning Models

Machine learning models are computer programs that are used to recognize patterns in data or make predictions. They are created from machine learning algorithms, which are trained using either labeled, unlabeled, or mixed data. Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence, which is broadly defined as the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior. Machine learning is popular because it gives enterprises a view of trends in customer behavior and business operational patterns, as well as supports the development of new products. Many of today's leading companies, such as Meta, Google and Uber, make machine learning a central part of their operations. Machine learning is also popular because computation is abundant and cheap. Abundant and cheap computation has driven the abundance of data we are collecting and therefore the increase in capability of machine learning methods.

With the growing popularity of both PostgreSQL for storage and machine learning models for AI deployments, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to train machine learning models using data in PostgreSQL. Kaspian offers native connectors for this operation. Just register your PostgreSQL datastore and link your model training job; Kaspian's autoscaling compute layer makes it easy to train and deploy machine learning models using any data in your cloud with minimal setup or management.
