Better machine learning

Machine learning (ML) is helping companies improve profits, but getting data into ML systems can be costly and require tech expertise not on staff. The latest version of Oracle MySQL HeatWave helps cut the cost and time involved by putting ML models in the database, instead of companies having to move data to ML systems.

Closing the tech gender gap

Oracle provides grants, sponsorships, and employee giving to more than 7,000 nonprofits in 62 countries that support girls in tech by teaching application development and STEM.

Oracle Volunteers did a lot of cleaning and planting during the lead-up to this week’s National Volunteer Week and Earth Day on Friday. Events included trash pickups in the US, UK, and Japan; planting seed balls in eight cities in India; and learning about food waste in Latin America.
