Interactive Search and Exploration of Waveform Data with Searchlight

Summary: Searchlight is an interactive search and exploration system for waveform data inside an array DBMS, enabling rich, mixed constraints—shape, aggregates, and similarity—and CP-based querying via OrTools without data extraction. Demonstrates on MIMIC II waveform data how users locate intervals by aggregate properties and by similarity to a query waveform. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
