Relational databases like Snowflake house much of the worldâs critical data, but building predictive models from this data can be slow and error-prone. Hours of feature engineering to join and aggregate data into a single table ends with suboptimal models. A new method, Relational Deep Learning (RDL), eliminates this bottleneck by treating the Snowflake database as temporal, heterogeneous graphs, where rows are nodes and primary-foreign key relationships form edges.
Message Passing Graph Neural Networks, like those used by Kumo AI, learn directly from this structure, creating richer representations without manual feature engineering. This leads to faster, more accurate models and allows data scientists to define and solve node and link prediction tasks with ease. RDL streamlines recommendation systems, fraud detection, customer retention, and more. RDL scales to handle graphs with billions of entities, ensuring security, privacy, and explainability.
In this session, youâll learn:
- How to quickly set up relational deep learning using Snowflake and Kumo AI
- How to use AI for practical purposes like improving product recommendations or personalizing communications
- How cutting-edge innovations are changing the way leaders use their data
