Addressing Diverse User Preferences in SQL-Query-Result Navigation

Summary: Addresses diverse user preferences in SQL-result navigation via clustering of query histories into types and a cluster tree. At runtime, users select clusters to browse or categorize results; a cost-based algorithm builds the tree by balancing visit costs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
