TATA: An Efficient Framework for Task Transfer in Query Plan Representation
Summary: TATA: a task-transfer framework for query-plan representations that augments pretraining with a self-supervised plan decoder to produce robust, task-agnostic embeddings. Mitigates small-label and distribution-shift issues by synthesizing realistic pseudo-labeled plans using DB domain knowledge, yielding up to 5x reduction in dataset collection cost and working across multiple plan encoders.
