IQR: An Interactive Query Relaxation System for the Empty-Answer Problem DavideMottin (U of Trento), A. Marascu (IBM Research - Ireland), S. Basu Roy (U of Washigton Tacoma), G. Das (U of Texas Arligton), T. Palpanas (Paris Descartes U) and Y. Velegrakis (U of Trento) Full technical details in: DavideMottin, A. Marascu, S. Basu Roy, G. Das, T. Palpanas and Y. Velegrakis, "A Probabilistic Optimization Framework for the Empty-Answer Problem", Proceedings of VLDB, 6(14), 2013 A Database The Theory • For a relaxation Q’ of Q • Prior • Belief of the user that an answer will be found in the database • Prefer • The likelihood the user will like the relaxed query answers • Relaxation Preference Function • Probability to reject the a relaxation • Probability to accept the relaxation • Cost for a relaxation A Query Cars with ABS, DSL & Manual Transmission The Answer: None What Users Want The Relaxation Tree The Algorithms The Performance • Full Tree • Precompute the whole Relaxation Tree • Fast Optimal • Start from the root and construct the tree on demand, computing min and max cost bounds • Approximate (CDR) • Approximate the cost of each relaxation
