Adda: Towards Efficient in-Database Feature Generation via LLM-based Agents

Summary: Adda enables in-database feature generation via LLM-based agents for ML analytics; natural-language tasks generate SQL-ready feature code compiled as UDFs. On 14 datasets, 5 ML tasks: up to 33.2% AUC gains and 100x latency vs Madlib. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
