Efficiently Answering Top-k Typicality Queries on Large Databases
Summary: Applies psychological typicality to databases, defining top-k simple and discriminative typicality for representative or distinguishing instances. Presents approximations: linear-time tournament; VP-tree local typicality with guarantees; Local Typicality Tree index; experiments show practicality. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
