Tiresias: A Demonstration of How-To Queries
Summary: Demonstrates Tiresias, the first how-to query engine for reverse data management, enabling KPI-driven hypothetical updates. User choices map to a declarative query solved by a MIP solver; interactive feedback refines results and updates proposals. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
