How does it compare to Apache MADlib? It allows to do ML in the database with SQL interfaces, and has been around for a few years.
So I don't think there's a lot of overlap there. But if you think otherwise and work on it or know someone that does, I'd be quite excited to have a chat, just to share experiences and tips if nothing else.
I don't work on it or know anyone who does, but it is one of the most established open projects for ML in the database, as far as I know.
