摘要：
The index selection problem (ISP) is one of the central issues in database tuning. Given a workload, a dataset, a set of index candidates, and some constraints on indexes to be built (e.g., maximum storage budget or maximum index number), ISP aims to select a subset of index candidates to maximise the performance of the workload while meeting the constraints. Proposed solutions for ISP range from sophisticated multi-step algorithms to approaches that adopt the learning methods. In this talk, we divide these methods into two categories, traditional methods, and learning-based methods. We revisit three typical traditional methods and four recent learning-based solutions.

His research interests include algorithm design with non-trivial theoretical guarantees and high practicality for large-scale data integration, management and analytics, with the mission of making big data truly usable. Zhifeng received his PhD and Bsc (Hons) in Computer Science at NUS in 2011 and 2006 (the only winner of the Best PhD Thesis Award in School of Computing and the recipient of the Gold Medal awarded by Singapore Infocomm Development Authority). Zhifeng won the 2021 Chris Wallace Award for Outstanding Research, awarded by CORE (The Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia). He is also a two-time winner of the Google Faculty Research Award. Currently, he serves the Associate Editor of PVLDB Vol16 and SIGMOD 2023. Since 2016 he has been a (senior) PC member of all flagship conferences in three areas (Databases, Data Mining and Information Retrieval), such as SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, KDD, SIGIR and WSDM. Zhifeng has received five best paper awards such as KDD 2019 Best Paper Award Runner-up, and five best paper nominations such as KDD 2018 and ICDE 2009. At RMIT, he co-directs the RMIT Research Centre for Information Discovery and Data Analytics and is the Head of the Big Data & Database Lab.
