Abstract
In order to facilitate query processing, the information contained in data warehouses is typically stored as a set of materialized views. Deciding which views to materialize presents a considerable challenge. The task is to select from a very large search space a set of views that minimizes view maintenance and query processing costs. Heuristic methods have been employed to find near optimal solutions and recent genetic algorithms have significantly improved the quality of the obtained solutions. In this paper we introduce a new approach for materialized view selection that is based on Simulated Annealing in conjunction with the use of a Multiple View Processing Plan (MVPP). Our experiments show that our new method provides a further significant improvement in the quality of the obtained set of materialized views, leading to a further significant improvement in query processing time and view maintenance costs for data warehousing systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
