DB&IR: Both Sides Now (Extended Abstract)

Summary: Advocates a unified DB&IR view and explains why integration remains hard across structured data and text. Root cause: diverging user models—programmers vs cognitive IR users—drives predicate matching in DB and ranking in IR; interactive bridging needed. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
