An End-to-End Learning-based Cost Estimator

Summary: End-to-end learning-based cost estimator with a tree-structured model that jointly estimates cost and cardinality. Features span queries and physical operators; a pattern-based string embedding handles predicates without enumerating values, yielding superior accuracy over baselines on real data.
