CData creates ODBC reader for Google's TensorFlow - SD Times

One of the popular uses for machine learning is helping organizations sift through data to find new patterns, giving business executives information that is actionable. CData, a North Carolina-based provider of data access solutions, last week made its first foray into the open-source world with the creation of the CData ODBC Reader for TensorFlow. This experimental project was created to enable people who want to apply machine learning to their data with TensorFlow to pull data from any ODBC-compliant data source, according to Eric Madariaga, CMO of CData. "We're offering a data abstraction layer without the need for big server-side code," he explained. "Users can pick and choose their data sources. We provide the interface between TensorFlow and whatever ODBC data source you plug in."
