Answering Queries using Humans, Algorithms and Databases

Summary: Presents a declarative language combining human-computable functions, relational operators, and algorithms, letting the system manage task issuance, answer reconciliation, and DB integration. Analyzes optimization under human-in-the-loop tradeoffs (cost, latency, uncertainty) and methods to fuse human and algorithmic evidence. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
