Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for Reverse Top-k Queries

Summary: Proposes a branch-and-bound algorithm for reverse top-k queries that avoids per-user top-k executions and full preference scans. Leverages pruning properties and optimizations; experiments show large gains over RTA on large preference collections. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
