The MADlib Analytics Library or MAD Skills, the SQL
Summary: MADlib is an open-source, extensible library of parallel SQL-native machine-learning, data-mining, and statistical methods, bringing CRAN-like community analytics into database engines. It emphasizes in-database execution at scale, avoiding data movement and supporting research contributions across platforms. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
