LLM for Data Management
Summary: Tutorial surveying use of LLMs to optimize data management, advocating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to curb hallucination, vector databases to cut latency, and LLM-agent multi-round pipelines for complex workflows. Focuses on applications (query rewrite, DB diagnosis, NL analytics), implementation trade-offs (cost, accuracy, latency), and open research challenges. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
