The Case for Personal Data-Driven Decision Making

Summary: Proposes personal data-driven decision making: personalized, example-based queries that predict outcomes for an individual rather than evaluate fixed predicates. Frames a data-management research agenda for extracting decision support from heterogeneous, context-dependent datasets. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
