The Importance of Parameters in Ranking Functions

Christoph Standke, Nikolaos Tziavelis, Wolfgang Gatterbauer +1

How important is the weight of a given column in determining the ranking of tuples in a table? To address such an explanation question about a ranking function, we investigate the…

Database Theory in Action: Direct Access to Query Answers

Jiayin Hu, Nikolaos Tziavelis

Direct access asks for the retrieval of query answers by their ranked position, given a query and a desired order. While the time complexity of data structures supporting such acce…

Fine-Grained Dichotomies for Conjunctive Queries with Minimum or Maximum

Nofar Carmeli, Nikolaos Tziavelis

We investigate the fine-grained complexity of direct access to Conjunctive Query (CQ) answers according to their position, ordered by the minimum (or maximum) value between attribu…

Ranked Enumeration for Database Queries

Nikolaos Tziavelis, Wolfgang Gatterbauer, Mirek Riedewald

Ranked enumeration is a query-answering paradigm where the query answers are returned incrementally in order of importance (instead of returning all answers at once). Importance is…

Efficient Computation of Quantiles over Joins

Nikolaos Tziavelis, Nofar Carmeli, Wolfgang Gatterbauer +2

We present efficient algorithms for Quantile Join Queries, abbreviated as %JQ. A %JQ asks for the answer at a specified relative position (e.g., 50% for the median) under some orde…

Any-k Algorithms for Enumerating Ranked Answers to Conjunctive Queries

Nikolaos Tziavelis, Wolfgang Gatterbauer, Mirek Riedewald

We study ranked enumeration for Conjunctive Queries (CQs) where the answers are ordered by a given ranking function (e.g., an ORDER BY clause in SQL). We develop "any-k" algorithms…
