Rank Discovery From Web Databases
Summary: Rank discovery over hidden web databases accessed through top-k interfaces. Proposes a taxonomy of ranking functions with principled randomized rank-estimation algorithms; proves deterministic methods are inefficient and validates results on real data, including Amazon.
