Towards instance-optimized data systems

Summary: Progress report on ML-for-systems research toward instance-optimized data systems that learn workload and data distributions to self-tune algorithms and structures. Assesses practical deployment readiness through DSAIL/MIT projects, beyond lab-scale performance claims. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
