Abstract: 

Introducing VerticaPy – a disruptive approach for data scientists with in-database Machine Learning
VerticaPy is a Python library that exposes sci-kit like functionality to conduct data science projects on data stored in Vertica – taking advantage of the platform fast queries, built-in analytics and machine learning capabilities. It supports the entire data science life cycle, uses a ‘pipeline’ mechanism to sequence data transformation operations (called Virtual DataFrame), and offers multiple graphical rendering capabilities. VerticaPy combines Vertica’s scalability with Python’s flexibility providing the community with what they need: Bringing the logic to the data and not the other way around.

Background Knowledge
SQL & Python
