DeepSampling: Selectivity Estimation with Predicted Error and Response Time
share
The rapid growth of spatial data urges the research community to find efficient processing techniques for interactive queries on large volumes of data. Approximate Query Processing (AQP) is the most prominent technique that can provide real-time answer for ad-hoc queries based on a random sample. Unfortunately, existing AQP methods provide an answer without providing any accuracy metrics due to the complex relationship between the sample size, the query parameters, the data distribution, and the result accuracy. This paper proposes DeepSampling, a deep-learning-based model that predicts the accuracy of a sample-based AQP algorithm, specially selectivity estimation, given the sample size, the input distribution, and query parameters. The model can also be reversed to measure the sample size that would produce a desired accuracy. DeepSampling is the first system that provides a reliable tool for existing spatial databases to control the accuracy of AQP.
