PREFER: A System for the Efficient Execution of Multiparametric Ranked Queries

Summary: PREFER enables efficient multiparametric ranked queries via materialized views that score tuples with weight-based functions in a pipelined plan. Space-aware view selector picks a bounded view set; prototype atop a DBMS shows faster preprocessing and query-time. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
