Machine Learning for Databases

Summary: Tutorial on ML-based DB optimization, taxonomy of NP-hard offline tasks (knob space, index/view, partitioning) and online tasks (query rewrite, join order). Reviews regression and prediction approaches for cost, cardinality, latency, and workload, and outlines open research challenges. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
