ELEET: Efficient Learned Query Execution over Text and Tables

Summary: ELEET makes text first-class via learned multi-modal operators (MMOps), enabling native joins/unions over tables and unstructured text. Replacing LLMs with a compact SLM and tailored pretraining, ELEET extracts structure with low overhead and achieves up to 575× speedups vs GPT‑4 baselines without accuracy loss.
