Summary

The BigQuery ML Extension Package is a new tool that allows users to extend the functionality of CARTO Workflows by creating packages of custom components through SQL stored procedures. This package enables seamless integration of machine learning models into automated pipelines, empowering businesses to unlock valuable insights and automate data-driven decisions. The extension package can be used to train predictive models such as customer churn prediction or sales forecasting using data stored in Google BigQuery. Users can either train their own models or import custom models trained outside of BigQuery, and run predictions, understand the model's output, and evaluate its performance. The tool provides a low-code environment for building, training, and deploying machine learning models, and offers features such as feature importance analysis and explainability. By integrating machine learning capabilities directly from Workflows, users can simplify their data-driven decision-making processes and drive better outcomes.
