Deep Learning Models for Selectivity Estimation of Multi-Attribute Queries

Summary: Two DL-based estimators for multi-attribute selectivity: autoregressive density estimation of the joint distribution and a supervised predictor (range-query support). Tackles featurization, workload awareness, and dynamic data, delivering fast, accurate, compact estimates for many predicates at low selectivity. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
