    You can do all of that in a single SQL query, with pgml.embed() and then pgml.train() a custom reranker with xgboost, to pgml.predict() the conversion score of a search result base…

    This is an SDK built to interact with PostgresML, which provides ML & AI _inside_ a Postgres database. Clients in this case don't perform inference, rather the server does. You cou…

    If anyone would like a free PostgresML T-shirt, we just did our first run. Feel free to email me with your shipping info and size. It'd also be nice to get to know you a bit if you…
