The video for our VLDB Panel on ML for Database Tuning is available on Youtube: https://t.co/FIbxlT7AQW

One of the main takeaways from @samlightstone: Start simple with blackbox tuning. Then bring in more advanced whitebox ML methods as needed.

[VLDB 2021 @vldb2021]

More DB goodness with day 3 https://t.co/jlndxPMSEx demos, tutorials, research, industry, SDS talks, and a keynote by the always superlative Gerhard Weikum!
