Robust Voice Querying with MUVE: Optimally Visualizing Results of Phonetically Similar Queries

Summary: MUVE visualizes phonetically similar voice-to-SQL results as multiplots to curb ASR ambiguity. It maps voice input to a candidate distribution, selects a subset of queries, and optimizes visualization to minimize the expected time to identify the correct result; NP-hard, with IP-based exact and greedy solvers, validated by a user study.
