ARDA: Automatic Relational Data Augmentation for Machine Learning

Summary: ARDA automates relational data augmentation for ML via joins of input data with external data to yield features. Two components: data-search-join to assemble augmented features; efficient feature selection to prune noisy features; validated on datasets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
