BibFinder/StatMiner: Effectively Mining and Using Coverage and Overlap Statistics in Data Integration

Summary: StatMiner learns coverage and overlap for data integration via a hierarchical classifier and thresholded learning to adapt resolution. Demonstrates on BibFinder, autonomous sources with uneven coverage, learned stats speeding query processing. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
