Selectivity Estimation for Range Predicates using Lightweight Models

Summary: Framing selectivity for multi-dimensional range predicates as regression and evaluating lightweight neural nets and tree ensembles; naive use underperforms simple baselines. It introduces regression-label transformation and feature engineering, delivering fast, accurate estimates across diverse datasets for optimizers. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
