Reverse k-Ranks Query

Summary: Introduces reverse k-ranks (R-kRanks): for any product, returns the k customers ranking it highest, guaranteeing coverage beyond reverse top-k’s hot-product bias. Develops a tree-based and two batch-pruning algorithms, validated theoretically and experimentally. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
