The Relational Data Borg is Learning

Summary: Recasts machine learning on relational data as query processing: feature extraction plus group-by aggregates. An algebraic, statistical, and systems toolbox exploits data structure, specialization, sharing, and parallelism to reduce learning complexity and constants.
