Anytime Approximation in Probabilistic Databases via Scaled Dissociations

Summary: Introduces an anytime branch-and-bound approximation scheme for probabilistic databases, unifying PDB and SRL model-based methods. Scaled dissociation tightens bounds for self-join-free CQ queries on tuple-independent PDBs, cutting approximation error. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
