WarpGate: A Semantic Join Discovery System for Cloud Data Warehouses
Summary: WarpGate: embedding-based semantic join discovery for cloud data warehouses—maps columns into vectors so transformable, cross-database join relationships appear as proximity rather than exact syntactic matches. Prototype is sample-efficient, scales to millions of rows, and integrated into an enterprise analytics product. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
