New framework formalizes cost-accuracy optimization for semantic queries

A new research paper introduces a formal framework for optimizing cost and accuracy in semantic query engines. The proposed method leverages calibrated confidence from machine-learned models to estimate expected errors and their propagation through query plans. This approach allows for declarative output-level accuracy targets and defines a hierarchy of plan equivalences, with simulations demonstrating its effects. AI

IMPACT Introduces a formal method for optimizing AI-driven query engines, potentially improving efficiency and accuracy in database systems.

    When Plans Change Answers: Formalizing Cost-Accuracy Optimization for Semantic Queries

    arXiv:2610.08089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In semantic query engines, predicates are evaluated by machine-learned models, and the choice of a query plan affects not only the cost of a query but also its result. Existing systems either apply a fixed threshold to each semant…
