Predictive modeling is a core element in modern systems, and powers capabilities such as fraud detection, loan approvals, and recommendation systems. These systems typically operate on structured, relational data stored in enterprise databases, with rows, columns, and interlinked tables. While computer vision and natural language processing have undergone a neural network revolution, the tabular data layer underpinning predictive modeling still largely relies on manual feature engineering and task-specific models.
Relational deep learning proposes a new approach. It treats databases as graphs and applies transformer-style attention mechanisms directly over structured relational data. Researchers are now building foundation models for tabular data that aim to generalize across predictive tasks without painstaking feature engineering.
Jure Leskovec is a Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and he previously served as Chief Scientist at Pinterest and was an investigator at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub. Most recently, he co-founded the machine learning startup, Kumo.AI.
In this episode, Jure joins Sean Falconer to discuss the limitations of traditional predictive modeling, why structured enterprise data requires its own modality-specific neural architectures, how graph transformers generalize attention to relational databases, and more.
Sean’s been an academic, startup founder, and Googler. He has published works covering a wide range of topics from AI to quantum computing. Currently, Sean is an AI Entrepreneur in Residence at Confluent where he works on AI strategy and thought leadership. You can connect with Sean on LinkedIn.

Agents are getting smarter every day. But even the smartest agents get stuck without the right context and the right tools. That’s where Notion comes in.
With the recent launch of Custom Agents, Notion became the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents work side by side. And now, their new Developer Platform is turning that workspace into infrastructure developers can build on.
Most agent platforms are single-player, making you stand up your own infrastructure just to start. Notion’s Developer Platform flips both. You get primitives to sync any data source in, give your Custom Agents tools that plain MCP can’t deliver, and orchestrate agents like Claude or Codex alongside your team. The CLI authenticates in one line, and Workers run on Notion’s runtime, so there’s nothing to provision.
Because the workspace your team lives in is the same thing you build on, permissions and governance come standard. Write your code, deploy, done.

If you’re running Postgres in production, you’ve probably felt the moment analytical queries start fighting your transactional workload. Most teams end up adding a second database and all the pipeline complexity that comes with it.
Tiger Data, creators of TimescaleDB, takes a different approach. We extend Postgres with hybrid row and columnar storage so one table handles both writes and analytical scans. Native Compression cuts storage costs up to 95%. Continuous aggregates keep dashboards live without batch jobs. And it scales to petabytes without you re-architecting.
Companies like Cloudflare, Octave Energy, Schneider, Axpo, and Flowco run production workloads on Tiger Data today.
No stale data. No second system to operate. Just Postgres, managed for you, ready for the workload you’re building toward.Try it free at tigerdata.com
