User-adaptive exploration of multidimensional data

Summary: User-adaptive OLAP exploration tracks visited cube regions and builds a Maximum Entropy model of unvisited values. Users query the most surprising unvisited regions, iteratively refining the model until it matches the cube. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
