Scorpion: Explaining Away Outliers in Aggregate Queries

Summary: Scorpion takes user-specified outlier points from aggregate results and derives input predicates that remove those outliers. Defines predicate influence and uses efficient max-influence search to reveal explanations faster than naive search. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
