Meet Charles, big data query advisor
Summary: Charles, a query-advisor that "queries the query space", decomposes a conjunctive-predicate query's extent into meaningful segments expressed in a new Segmentation Description Language (SDL). Novel algorithm generates SDL answers optimizing homogeneity, simplicity, breadth, and entropy. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
