Automated Ranking of Database Query Results

Summary: Adapts IR-style relevance ranking to relational DB query results, highlighting integration challenges in scoring, indexing, query optimization, and result diversification for DBMS. Proposes and evaluates several IR-to-DB adaptations and reports preliminary experimental tradeoffs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
