Exact Processing of Uncertain Top-k Queries in Multi-criteria Settings

Summary: Introduces uncertain top-k queries for linear multi-criteria rankings when user weights are bounded or imprecise, returning every option that may enter the top-k. Provides scalable exact processing for both possible-membership and per-weight top-k sets. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
