LEARNT: A Practical Estimator for Cardinality of LIKE Queries with Formal Accuracy Guarantees

Hai Lan, Zhifeng Bao, Divesh Srivastava +3

We study the problem of cardinality estimation for LIKE queries on string data, focusing on the most common patterns in real workloads: prefix, suffix, and substring queries. We pr…

Decomposition-Driven Multi-Table Retrieval and Reasoning for Numerical Question Answering

Feng Luo, Hai Lan, Hui Luo +4

In this paper, we study the problem of numerical multi-table question answering (MTQA) over large-scale table collections (e.g., online data repositories). This task is essential i…
