Regret-Minimizing Representative Databases

Summary: Introduces k-regret queries that output k representative tuples for multi-criteria decision making without user-provided utility functions. Proves a maximum regret ratio bound independent of database size and offers linear-time algorithms compatible with skyline, validated on real and synthetic data.
