Efficient Discovery of Relaxed Functional Dependencies
Summary: First complete discovery algorithm for minimal relaxed FDs, combining similarity-threshold equality with bounded violations. Extends difference-sets to threshold predicates and exploits RHS subsumption, achieving orders-of-magnitude speedups and uncovering FDs in dirty data. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
