About this paper

Tianqing Wang, Xun Xue, Guoliang Li, Yong Wang

AnDB is introduced as an AI-native database designed for unified semantic analysis across structured and unstructured data, enabling users to perform complex AI-driven queries using extended SQL-like statements. The system demonstrates capabilities in classification, aggregation, and cross-source trend analysis of text documents through a cost-accuracy optimized query engine.

Key insights

  • Extending SQL with semantic-specific tokens and corresponding logical/physical operators allows users to express complex AI-driven analysis directly, bridging the semantic gap for unstructured data within a familiar database interface.
  • A comprehensive query optimization framework that explicitly models the trade-off between financial cost, accuracy, and runtime is essential for practical and efficient deployment of AI-native database systems.
  • Incorporating a calibration component, inspired by agentic AI frameworks, enables continuous refinement of system performance through both user feedback and automated model-based cross-validation.
