Intelligent Rollups in Multidimensional OLAP Data

Summary: Introduces an intelligent rollups operator for multidimensional OLAP that generalizes a specific problem case to the broadest context along roll-up paths. A flexible cost-based framework and efficient algorithm enable compact, interpretable summaries and interactive exploration on large data cubes. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
