Answering Queries from Statistics and Probabilistic Views

Summary: Studies query answering under both global statistical constraints and local source probabilities in LAV integration with the Open World Assumption. Unifies these imprecise inputs as probabilistic databases with complex tuple correlations and derives corresponding query-answering methods. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
