A Non-deterministic Deductive Database Language
Summary: Explores the non-deterministic component of IDLOG, a tuple-identifiers-based DATALOG language with negation. Defines sampling queries in IDLOG, shows optimization benefits for DATALOG programs, and analyzes the expressive power of non-deterministic IDLOG. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
