Exploring Databases via Reverse Engineering Ranking Queries with PALEO
Summary: PALEO reverse-engineers OLAP-style SQL queries from user-provided ranked entity lists, returning explanations and complete result rankings. Interactive refinement of lists, results, and queries, combined with mining interesting categorical attributes, enables intuitive database exploration. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
