Mind the Gap: Bridging Multi-Domain Query Workloads with EmptyHeaded
Summary: Demonstrates EmptyHeaded, a unified interactive engine spanning relational, graph, and linear-algebra workloads without costly data movement. Its architecture combines worst-case-optimal join processing with automated in-query transformations, exposing trade-offs via Jupyter. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
