The Case For Language Model Approximated LIKE Predicate
Summary: SMILE reframes wildcard LIKE as neural pattern decoding: a compact column-local language model translates complex LIKE predicates into small candidate sets, then verifies via hash lookups. Yields asymptotic, dataset-size-invariant evaluation, robust to drift, outperforming trigram/B+-tree indexes by large margins. (summarized by gpt-5.4-mini on Apr 11 2026)
