Microsoft Gray Systems Lab

Excited to share our insights and experience on building autonomous data services on Azure in the Industry Invited Papers Session! Join us on Wednesday (June 21) at 14:00-15:30 PST for 'Towards Building Autonomous Data Services on Azure.' #mlforsystem #azure #autonomousdatabase

In #ML, we've tackled a major roadblock - training Random Forests on normalized #GPU databases, previously hindered by limited GPU memory. Our solution outperforms LightGBM, handling 50% more data & boosting performance by 2x. Catch more at #DAMON2023 #SIGMOD2023, June 19!

Matteo Interlandi (Gray System Lab, Microsoft) will give a keynote on how databases and machine learning systems can benefit from each other sharing his experience from both industry and research. 2/6
