Approximating Predicates and Expressive Queries on Probabilistic Databases
Summary: Defines an expressive probabilistic-DB language with compositional confidence computation enabling conditional-probability queries and selections over marginal/conditional confidences. Characterizes complexity, gives approximation/error bounds, and an algorithm that efficiently approximates queries except at unavoidable singularities. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
