>Users feed in their data and the AI makes predictions about the future. John Deere, for example, installs sensors in its farm equipment to measure things like engine temperature and hours of use. Databricks uses this raw data to predict when a tractor is likely to break down.
I'm pretty sure this is not what databricks does. Isn't databricks just a way to run queries on unstructured data? Or am I thinking of something else?

- hocuspocus 4y agoYou can definitely compute predictions with Spark, for instance: https://www.databricks.com/blog/2020/11/16/how-to-train-xgboost-with-spark.html https://www.databricks.com/blog/2020/11/16/how-to-train-xgbo...
