If your data lacks uniform time intervals between consecutive entries, QuestDB offers a solution by allowing you to sample your data. After that, MindsDB facilitates creating, training, and deploying your time-series models.

MindsDB is an open-source AI platform for developers that connects AI/ML models with real-time data. It provides tools and automation to easily build and maintain personalized AI solutions.

MindsDB combines both AI and SQL functions in one; users can create, train, optimize, and deploy ML models without the need for external tools. Data analysts can create and visualize forecasts without having to navigate the complexities of ML pipelines.MindsDB is open-source and works with well-known databases like MySQL, Postgres, Redit, Snowflakes, etc.

Mindsdb is a good example. It abstracts everything related to an AI workflow as "virtual tables". For example, you can import OpenAI API as a "virtual table":

MindsDB is an AI Automation platform for building AI/ML powered features and applications. It works by connecting any data source with any AI/ML model or framework and automating how real-time data flows between them. MindsDB is integrated with LlamaIndex, which makes use of its data framework for connecting custom data sources to large language models. LlamaIndex data ingestion allows you to connect to data sources like PDF’s, webpages, etc., provides data indexing and a query interface that takes input prompts from your data and provides knowledge-augmented responses, thus making it easy to Q&A over documents and webpages.

Now, imagine if you can deploy these highly trained models in your database to get insights, make predictions, understand your users, auto-generate content, and more. MindsDB makes this possible! MindsDB is an open-source AI database middleware that allows you to supercharge your databases by integrating various machine learning (ML) engines.

Finally, when it comes to building models and making predictions, Python and R have a plethora of options available. Libraries like scikit-learn, statsmodels, and TensorFlowin Python, or caret, randomForest, and xgboostin R, provide powerful machine learning algorithms and statistical models that can be applied to a wide range of problems. What's more, these libraries are open-source and have extensive documentation and community support, making it easy to learn and apply new techniques without needing specialized training or expensive software licenses.

You can find the problem outlined here: https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/issues/5826. u/hcho3 diagnosed the problem and corrected it as of XGB version 1.2.0.

By the way, most of the time XGBoost works just as well for projects, would not recommend applying deep learning to every single problem you come across, it's something Stanford CS really likes to showcase when it's well known (1) that sometimes "smaller"/less complex models can perform just as well or have their own interpretive advantages and (2) it is well known within ML and DS communities that deep learning does not perform as well with tabular datasets and using deep learning as a default to every problem is just poor practice. However, if you do (god forbid) get language, speech/audio, vision/imaging, or even time series models then deep learning as a baseline is not the worst idea.
