Semantic Operators and Their Optimization: Enabling LLM-Based Data Processing with Accuracy Guarantees in LOTUS

Summary: LOTUS introduces semantic operators for LLM-based filtering, joins, sorting, and aggregation with statistical accuracy guarantees via reference algorithms. Its optimizer composes model calls to cut costs—up to 1,000×—while preserving quality across real analytics workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
