Pre-training Summarization Models of Structured Datasets for Cardinality Estimation

Summary: Pre-trained models convert structured datasets into compact summaries for cardinality estimation, eliminating per-dataset training and speeding up summary construction up to 100x. Uses multiple summaries per dataset and learned summaries for hard columnsets; shows shared frequency and correlation patterns learned from a diverse corpus with incremental updates.
