Hitting Set Enumeration with Partial Information for Unique Column Combination Discovery

Summary: HPIValid treats UCC discovery as hitting-set enumeration in hypergraphs, enabling fast, memory-light mining on wide datasets. By fusing data-profiling techniques with modern enumeration theory, it achieves orders-of-magnitude speedups over prior work. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
