Efficiently Answering Top-k Typicality Queries on Large Databases
Summary: Introduces top-k typicality queries, including simple and discriminative typicality, to identify representative or class-distinguishing objects. Avoids quadratic exact computation via linear randomized tournaments and VP-tree/Local Typicality Tree approximations with quality guarantees. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
