Explore-by-Example: An Automatic Query Steering Framework for Interactive Data Exploration
Summary: Explore-by-Example introduces AIDE, an automatic IDE for exploration that steers users toward regions via sample feedback to predict queries. It delivers accurate conjunctive-query predictions with minimal user effort and fast iterations, cutting exploration time vs manual search. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
