Welcome to Methods of AI in Modern Data Management Systems
Description:
Please provide a description of the course to be published in the course catelog. It should include a brief introduction and motivation, a description of the concents covered, and a description of the teaching methods and the evalution. It should be written in the form of a coherent paragraph. AI methods have made inroads into the design and application of data structures and algorithms in a variety of system components. This course will cover applications of AI methods in the design of modern data management systems. The course will consist of two main parts. In the first part, the course will systematically discuss different system components and discuss the potential use and concrete approaches. Special focus will be on learned indexes as well as learned optimizers. In the second part, the course will provide a hands-on experience in applying AI methods to individual components of an optimizer. The students will practically experience the potential but also the limitations of AI techniques in the context of system software.
Prerequisites:
A background in computer science is assumed. In particular, the participants should have knowledge about and experience with relational database management systems. Further, the participants should have programming experience (ideally Python).
