Automatic Example Queries for Ad Hoc Databases
Summary: Automatic generation of starter SQL queries over unstructured, schema-less table collections without logs or prior input. From public databases, learns operator-specific models and assembles queries piecewise; shows how dataset statistics shape feasible starter queries to bootstrap non-experts.
