This tutorial overviews the state of the art in learning models over relational databases and makes the case for a first-principles approach that exploits recent developments in database research. The input to learning classification and regression
models is a training dataset defined by feature extraction queries over relational databases. The mainstream approach to learning over relational data is to materialize the training dataset, export it out of the database, and then learn over it using a statistical package. This approach can be expensive as it requires the materialization of the training dataset. An alternative approach is to cast the machine learning problem as a database problem by transforming the data-intensive component of the learning task into a batch of aggregates over the feature extraction query and by computing this batch directly over the input database. The tutorial highlights a variety of techniques developed by the database theory and systems communities to improve the performance of the learning task. They rely on structural properties of the relational data and of the feature extraction query, including algebraic (semi-ring), combinatorial (hypertree width), statistical (sampling), or geometric (distance) structure. They also rely on factorized computation, code specialization, query compilation, and parallelization.
F-IVM is a system for real-time analytics such as machine learning applications over training datasets defined by queries over fast-evolving relational databases. We will demonstrate F-IVM for three such applications: model selection, Chow-Liu trees, and ridge linear regression.
Relational databases are valuable resources for learning novel and interesting relations and concepts. In order to constraint the search through the large space of candidate definitions, users must tune the algorithm by specifying a language bias. Un
fortunately, specifying the language bias is done via trial and error and is guided by the experts intuitions. We propose AutoBias, a system that leverages information in the schema and content of the database to automatically induce the language bias used by popular relational learning systems. We show that AutoBias delivers the same accuracy as using manually-written language bias by imposing only a slight overhead on the running time of the learning algorithm.
We consider the question: what is the abstraction that should be implemented by the computational engine of a machine learning system? Current machine learning systems typically push whole tensors through a series of compute kernels such as matrix mu
ltiplications or activation functions, where each kernel runs on an AI accelerator (ASIC) such as a GPU. This implementation abstraction provides little built-in support for ML systems to scale past a single machine, or for handling large models with matrices or tensors that do not easily fit into the RAM of an ASIC. In this paper, we present an alternative implementation abstraction called the tensor relational algebra (TRA). The TRA is a set-based algebra based on the relational algebra. Expressions in the TRA operate over binary tensor relations, where keys are multi-dimensional arrays and values are tensors. The TRA is easily executed with high efficiency in a parallel or distributed environment, and amenable to automatic optimization. Our empirical study shows that the optimized TRA-based back-end can significantly outperform alternatives for running ML workflows in distributed clusters.
Causal inference is at the heart of empirical research in natural and social sciences and is critical for scientific discovery and informed decision making. The gold standard in causal inference is performing randomized controlled trials; unfortunate
ly these are not always feasible due to ethical, legal, or cost constraints. As an alternative, methodologies for causal inference from observational data have been developed in statistical studies and social sciences. However, existing methods critically rely on restrictive assumptions such as the study population consisting of homogeneous elements that can be represented in a single flat table, where each row is referred to as a unit. In contrast, in many real-world settings, the study domain naturally consists of heterogeneous elements with complex relational structure, where the data is naturally represented in multiple related tables. In this paper, we present a formal framework for causal inference from such relational data. We propose a declarative language called CaRL for capturing causal background knowledge and assumptions and specifying causal queries using simple Datalog-like rules.CaRL provides a foundation for inferring causality and reasoning about the effect of complex interventions in relational domains. We present an extensive experimental evaluation on real relational data to illustrate the applicability of CaRL in social sciences and healthcare.
