ActivePDB: Active Probabilistic Databases

Summary: ActivePDB proposes an end-to-end framework for uncertain relational data with an oracle for verification. It uses provenance to map outputs to inputs and active learning to minimize verifications, updating probabilities; demonstrated on NELL. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
