Similarity Query Processing for High-Dimensional Data

Summary: Tutorial surveying high-dimensional similarity query processing, bridging DB and ML with embeddings, auto-encoders, and pre-trained models. Reviews exact and approximate methods (cover trees, LSH, product quantization, proximity graphs), ML-driven selectivity estimation, and DB–ML synergy to spur ML-for-DB and DB-for-ML solutions.
