Active Learning for ML Enhanced Database Systems

Summary: ADCP uses active learning to collect deployment data. HAL fuses signals to guide data gathering under varying budgets, delivering up to 2x prediction performance at the same cost and 75% error reduction with ~100 extra queries on production workloads.
