Interactive Data Exploration Using Semantic Windows

Summary: Semantic Windows (SW) enable interactive exploration of multidimensional windows via shape- and content-based constraints atop DBMSs. Sampling-guided search with online results and adaptive prefetching enables distributed PostgreSQL execution for big data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
