TRACE-RealWorld addresses a core data-management problem: maintaining an actionable materialized view over a continuously changing physical world when reads of the base state are priced, delayed, heterogeneous, and fallible. Its data-management contributions are a commitment-level validity abstraction for materialized predictions; consequence-conditioned adaptive view maintenance; transaction-style, dependency-scoped compensation for commitments invalidated after authorization; and append-only provenance supporting exact replay. The work builds directly on materialized-view maintenance, adaptive stream synchronization, transaction recovery, sagas, data freshness, and provenance. The end-to-end Flood-SAR evaluation treats sensing as physical data acquisition and measures freshness, verification cost, stale reads, recovery scope, restoration failure, and replayability through six pre-registered questions with held-out seeds. The contribution is therefore not a new predictive model, but a consistency, recovery, and accountability contract for deploying learned world representations as operational data systems.
Large language models (LLMs) and AI agents have demonstrated strong potential for data integration in zero-shot and few-shot settings. However, they continue to face significant accuracy and cost challenges in enterprise environments due to a persistent knowledge gap. This paper…
Given a database S and a natural language question Q, text-to-SQL systems aim to generate an SQL query that correctly answers Q when executed against S. Currently, popular text-to-SQL benchmarks mostly assume unrestricted access to S; in practice, however, user access is often re…
Recent work suggests that relational database management systems (RDBMSs) can execute quantum circuit simulation by compiling the simulation into SQL workloads (primarily join-and-aggregate tensor contractions). While early results are promising, they largely focus on a narrow se…
LLM-based database agents show promise, but differing task scopes, testbeds, and metrics hinder comparison. We identify four gaps between evaluation and production operations: live-environment fidelity (multi-turn read-write interaction with a running database); observation-space…
Join discovery is a core task in dataset search, enabling users to find columns that can be joined with a given query column. Early approaches focused on equi-joins, but data lakes and open-data repositories often contain columns whose values refer to the same entity but use diff…
Chess is a two player strategic game that is embedded in classical AI culture as it was once the frontier for intelligent behaviour. There was the silent assumption that the advent of computer engines that play better than the best humans will extinguish interest in the game. How…
