The case for learned index structures – part I

The case for learned index structures Kraska et al., arXiv Dec. 2017 Welcome to another year of papers on The Morning Paper. With the rate of progress in our field at the moment, I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for us! Two years ago, I started 2016 with a series of papers from the'Techniques everyone should know' chapter of the newly revised'Readings in Database Systems.' So much can happen in two years! I hope it doesn't take another ten years for us to reach the sixth edition of the'Red Book,' but if it does, in today's paper choice Kraska et al., are making a strong case for the inclusion of applied machine learning in a future list of essential techniques for database systems.
