DICE: Data Discovery by Example
Summary: DICE enables schema-agnostic data discovery from a handful of example records rather than SQL queries. It synthesizes candidate SQL over data-lake join paths and iteratively uses user validation to eliminate spurious results and refine intent. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
