Developer implemented neural networks in SQL
A developer has demonstrated that neural networks can be implemented using SQL operations through their Xarray-SQL project. By modeling N-dimensional arrays as 2D tables, they showed that classic operations like matrix multiplication can be expressed as SQL joins and aggregation, opening new possibilities for handling large geospatial datasets.
WHY IT MATTERS
This shows that many operations traditionally thought of as matrix algebra are actually relational operations under the hood. It opens up opportunities to leverage SQL databases' scalability and optimizations for machine learning tasks, particularly relevant for large geospatial and climate data.
