Optimization for Active Learning-based Interactive Database Exploration

Summary: Active-learning based explore-by-example for interactive DB exploration, turning user labels into an evolving interest model. New optimizations curb convergence lag, delivering responsive performance and converting the model into a query that retrieves all relevant tuples. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
