概率数据库的共识答案

Consensus Answers for Queries over Probabilistic Databases

Jian Li, Amol Deshpande

摘要:

我们解决的问题,找到一个“最好的”确定性查询答案的查询概率数据库。为此,我们提出了共识世界(或共识答案)的概念,这是一个确定性世界(答案),它最小化了到可能世界(答案)的预期距离。这个问题可以看作是一个推广的研究不一致的信息聚合问题(如排名聚合)的概率数据库。我们认为这个问题的各种类型的查询,包括SPJ查询,\Topk查询,分组聚合查询,聚类。对于不同的距离度量,我们得到多项式时间最优或近似算法计算的共识答案(或证明NP-硬度)。我们的大部分结果是一个一般的概率数据库模型,称为{ \em和/XOR树模型},显着推广以前的概率数据库模型,如x-元组和块独立的不相交模型,是独立的兴趣。

英文摘要:

We address the problem of finding a "best" deterministic query answer to a query over a probabilistic database. For this purpose, we propose the notion of a consensus world (or a consensus answer) which is a deterministic world (answer) that minimizes the expected distance to the possible worlds (answers). This problem can be seen as a generalization of the well-studied inconsistent information aggregation problems (e.g. rank aggregation) to probabilistic databases. We consider this problem for various types of queries including SPJ queries, \Topk queries, group-by aggregate queries, and clustering. For different distance metrics, we obtain polynomial time optimal or approximation algorithms for computing the consensus answers (or prove NP-hardness). Most of our results are for a general probabilistic database model, called {\em and/xor tree model}, which significantly generalizes previous probabilistic database models like x-tuples and block-independent disjoint models, and is of independent interest.
