Founder here. Aito had a custom database optimized for statistical operations. It essentially creates Bayesian models real time to answer the queries.

- zcw100 7y agoSounds like BayesDB. (That was an academic project and I’m not sure if it’s still being worked on).
- arauhala 7y agoTrue. Aito does resemble BayesDB. BayesDB wasn't the inspiration for Aito (I found it afterwards), but it is extremely impressive piece of work. The biggest difference between BayesDB and Aito is that BayesDB is built on top of SQLite, while Aito has its custom implementation. I have understood, that the SQLite approach puts pretty hard limits on the BayesDB's scaling. The custom database enables pretty radical optimizations, which allow much, much bigger scale.
