Learning-based Property Estimation with Polynomials
Summary: Learning-based, polynomial-approximation framework for frequency-based property estimation (NDV, entropy, power sums) from samples/histograms. Learns polynomial coefficients to combine ML adaptability with theoretical error guarantees, unifying previously separate statistical and learning-based estimators.
