Sample-Efficient Cardinality Estimation Using Geometric Deep Learning

Summary: A sample-efficient learned cardinality estimator uses geometric deep learning over join graphs, predicate feature-selection encodings, and relational-algebra/three-valued-logic regularization without extra labels. It improves PostgreSQL end-to-end runtime under sparse training and workload shifts. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
