Data-Agnostic Cardinality Learning from Imperfect Workloads

Summary: GRASP enables data-agnostic cardinality estimation from incomplete, imbalanced workloads without accessing underlying data. Compositional models generalize to unseen joins, handle range-distribution shifts, and capture cross-table correlations, matching data-driven methods with only 10% of templates.
