Estimating Cardinalities with Deep Sketches
Summary: Deep Sketches are compact learned models for estimating SQL cardinalities that capture cross-column and cross-table correlations. Demonstrations on TPC-H and IMDb cover training, ad-hoc queries, and comparison to estimators on HyPer and PostgreSQL. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
