Answering Queries In Categorical Data Bases
Summary: Universal Table Model: view a compatible categorical DB as a maximum-entropy contingency table to answer cross-classified queries exactly when supported, otherwise provide max-entropy estimates. Optimizes via reduction and graph-contraction on the join graph to compute max-entropy distributions for acyclic and cyclic schemas and minimize computation. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
