Abstract: 

We discuss a unified and user friendly approach to develop ML applications on MySQL HeatWave AutoML. We describe a simple to use MySQL API for HeatWave AutoML, its extension for different use cases and its ability to interface with third party applications. We also discuss how this facilitates the development of classification, regression, anomaly detection, forecasting and recommendation systems use cases, and present its comparison with other platforms that offer ML features for data bases. Lastly, we present how a user can fine tune the AutoML pipeline for their needs.

Background Knowledge:

General familiarity with Machine Learning

Bio: 

Sandeep Agrawal leads the HeatWave Machine Learning (HeatWave ML) project within MySQL HeatWave. HeatWave ML is the product of years of research and advanced development, and aims to help both data scientists and non-data scientists quickly apply ML to a given problem. Prior to HeatWave, Sandeep led the Oracle AutoML project within Oracle labs, creating a state-of-the-art distributed AutoML engine. He is passionate about Machine Learning and Systems Architecture, and a project like HeatWave ML that combines the two is heaven for him. Prior to Oracle, he completed his PhD in Computer Science from Duke University in 2015.
