Learning Generalized Linear Models Over Normalized Data

Summary: Factorized learning for gradient-descent GLMs over normalized data; pushes computations through joins to avoid I/O redundancy. Empirical results show factorized learning faster than join-then-learn, with a cost-based strategy; extends to multi-table joins and Hive. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
