Systems Group @ BTW 2025 in Bamberg! We had a wonderful time, huge thanks to the organizers and speakers!

Systems Group @ ELLIS RLGMSD workshop in Amsterdam to highlight how data engineering in enterprises is harder than public benchmarks make it look. Thanks to the organizers and speakers for the great event! Check out our papers: vldb.org/workshops/20... openreview.net/pdf?id=m85fY...

Paper accepted to VLDB'25: "ELEET: Efficient Learned Query Execution over Text and Tables" ELEET is a query execution engine that integrates text sources into databases and achieves up to 575× speedups over LLM-based approaches without sacrificing accuracy. www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol17/...

Paper accepted to SIGMOD'25: "How Good Are Learned Cost Models, Really? Insights from Query Optimization Tasks" Learned Cost Models often predict execution costs more accurately than traditional cost models. But does this translate into better query plans? Find out here: arxiv.org/abs/2502.01229

We are proud to share that Johannes Wehrstein and Carsten Binnig received the CIDR'25 Best Paper Award for their paper "Towards Foundation Database Models", which is the result of joint work with SystemsResearch@Google! 🏆 @jwehrstein.bsky.social www.vldb.org/cidrdb/paper...
