PLM4NDV: Minimizing Data Access for Number of Distinct Values Estimation with Pre-trained Language Models
Summary: Leverages semantic schema via pre-trained language models to estimate the number of distinct values (NDV) with reduced data access. PLM4NDV fuses target-column and table semantics to lower access costs, can operate with no data access, and outperforms baselines on large real-world datasets.
