User Interaction Support for Incremental Refinement of Preference-Based Queries
نویسندگان
چکیده
Preference-based queries (or skylines) play an important role in cooperative query processing. However, their prohibitive result sizes pose a severe challenge to the paradigm’s practical applicability. Since skyline sizes can only be predicted under strong assumptions, we present a sophisticated user interface to interactively refine queries in case the respective skyline set proves to be too large. Our approach allows users to incrementally augment preferences given by their Hasse diagrams. Moreover, we prove the correctness of the incremented skyline and in our experiments show the approach’s superior efficiency. Index Terms — Information Systems, User Interfaces

Developing a ChatBot to Answer Spatial Queries for use in Location-based Services
A Chat Bot is an automated operator that can interact with customers like a human operator, answer their questions, solve problems and get feedback. Real-time responsiveness, the sense of talking to a human user is one of their good features that can be used to deliver location-based services. This paper designed a Chat Bot that can talk and answer users' questions based on their location. Thi...

متن کاملIncremental Trade-Off Management for Preference-Based Queries
Preference-based queries often referred to as skyline queries play an important role in cooperative query processing. However, their prohibitive result sizes pose a severe challenge to the paradigm‟s practical applicability. In this paper we discuss the incremental re-computation of skylines based on additional information elicited from the user. Extending the traditional case of totally ordere...
متن کاملIncrementally improving dataspaces based on user feedback
One aspect of the vision of dataspaces has been articulated as providing various benefits of classical data integration with reduced up-front costs. In this paper, we present techniques that aim to support schema mapping specification through interaction with end users in a pay-as-you-go fashion. In particular, we show how schema mappings, that are obtained automatically using existing matching...
متن کاملAutomatic Classification and Intelligent Clustering for WWWeb Information Retrieval Systems
In this paper we present some aspects of an intelligent interface for a WWWeb legal information retrieval system. Our system is able to keep the context of the user interaction in order to supply suggestions for further refinement of the user queries. The set of documents obtained from the user queries is dynamically organised in clusters labeled with keywords from a juridical thesaurus. Since,...
