Exact Processing of Uncertain Top-k Queries in Multi-criteria Settings
Summary: Proposes uncertain top-k queries (UTK) for multi-criteria ranking under bounded weight uncertainty, reporting options that may belong to the top-k. Extends to exact top-k per weight setting with a scalable processing framework and benchmarks on standard datasets.
