SPACE: Cardinality Estimation for Path Queries Using Cardinality-Aware Sequence-based Learning
Summary: SPACE models graph path patterns as sequences of node labels and edge types, learning their cardinalities with dual encodings. Dual sequence and cardinality-aware encodings yield accurate estimates and faster training than prior methods. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
