Alibaba Cloud's top conference VLDB introduces PilotScope technology for the first time to realize automatic deployment of AI algorithms into the database

On December 20, 2024, the top international database conference VLDB2024 announced a batch of new papers, among which Alibaba Cloud's new technology PilotScope was successfully selected. This platform technology can realize "one-click deployment" of AI algorithms in the database, greatly lowering the threshold for applying AI algorithms in the database, and opening up new possibilities for the intelligent application of databases. At the same time, Alibaba Cloud also announced that all PilotScope technologies will be open sourced for free

VLDB2024 is the top conference in the database field

Based on this, researchers began to explore how to apply artificial intelligence technology to database systems to improve the intelligence level of the database. Currently, some important progress has been made. First, by introducing machine learning algorithms, the database can automatically learn and optimize performance, thereby improving query efficiency and data processing capabilities. Secondly, by using natural language processing technology, the database can achieve more intelligent query and analysis, allowing users to obtain the required information more conveniently. In addition, some researchers have begun to study how to combine emerging artificial intelligence technologies such as deep learning with database systems to further improve the intelligence level of the database. In short, the development of database intelligence will bring more efficient and intelligent data management and analysis capabilities to all walks of life in the digital era

Alibaba Cloud has proposed a new solution to this problem: by abstracting and generalizing module and interface definitions at the database and artificial intelligence system levels, it has developed a new middleware system platform, PilotScope, so that artificial intelligence algorithms can be Achieve "one-click deployment" in the database in hours or even minutes. The VLDB review believes that PilotScope's innovative system design based on application scenarios will open up a new direction of database intelligence

According to our understanding, PilotScope has preset more than 10 AI algorithms for mainstream database tasks, such as parameter tuning, index recommendation, cardinality estimation, query optimization, etc., and has successfully adapted to two major open source databases such as PostgreSQL and Spark. . Experimental data shows that after using PilotScope to embed AI algorithms into the database, compared with the traditional "hard implant" method, the speed of tasks such as query optimization is increased by 1 to 2 times. In addition, PilotScope itself imposes almost negligible additional cost on deployment and performs well

"PilotScope is like a database AI 'super administrator'. Through this platform, AI engineers only need to focus on designing general algorithms to implement the deployment and application of different databases; while database users can call APIs , use AI conveniently and efficiently." Zhu Rong, the person in charge of the project, said that PilotScope achieves "zero intrusion" into the database and has designed intelligent detection, rollback, isolation and other mechanisms to reduce the risk of AI hallucinations and ensure the stability of the database. Achieve intelligent improvement on the premise of safety

Currently, PilotScope has been launched as a pilot application within Alibaba Cloud, and related technologies are also open sourced for free through GitHub and Modelscope communities

According to our understanding, VLDB is one of the three top international database conferences. Every year, it only includes new results that have an important impact on academia and industrial practice. It is an authoritative guide in the field of database technology. The 50th VLDB Conference is expected to be held in Guangzhou, China in August 2024
