Ordering the Attributes of Query Results

Summary: Automates selecting informative attributes for ranked results with many attributes via attribute-usefulness optimization. Proposes a Split-Pane hybrid that merges top attributes from variants; experiments and a user study show improved explanations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
