Machine Learning Coffee seminar: Michael Mathioudakis "Machine Learning for Data Management – and vice versa"

Machine Learning for Data Management – and vice versa

Michael Mathioudakis
Professor of Computer Science, University of Helsinki

Abstract:

Research efforts in the areas of Machine Learning (ML) and Data Management (DM) have, to a large degree, run in parallel for many years. DM research focused on the efficient querying of  databases, and led to standardized and widely used database management systems. ML research focused on building predictive models from data, and led to high predictive performance for some particularly difficult tasks (e.g., image recognition). As ML software is used in more and more applications, it’s worth discussing whether we can have for ML systems the kind of standardization we have for DM systems – as well as whether we can use ML to improve DM systems. In this talk, I’ll present one recent paper for each direction from SIGMOD2018 [1] and VLDB2018 [2].
