Monotonic Cardinality Estimation of Similarity Selection: A Deep Learning Approach

Summary: DL framework for monotone cardinality estimation of similarity selections. Feature extractor maps data and threshold to Hamming space; regression yields monotone, incremental estimates across data types and distance functions; discusses training, updates, fast estimation, and optimizer impact.
