Combining Sampling and Synopses with Worst-Case Optimal Runtime and Quality Guarantees for Graph Pattern Cardinality Estimation

Summary: ALLEY blends sampling and synopses for graph-pattern cardinality estimation. It introduces random-walk-with-intersection sampling, variance-reducing branching, and mined tangled-pattern synopses to deliver unbiased online estimates with worst-case optimal runtime and accuracy guarantees.
