Understanding Queries in a Search Database System
Summary: Formalize interpretations as parses in a 'search database system'; generate parses with nonempty evaluation in polynomial time (combined input+output) and decide specificity efficiently. Most-specific parse is intractable, but under mild assumptions parses can be enumerated by decreasing specificity with polynomial delay and space. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
