Motivation & Problem Statement Goal: Select a combination of three players including forward, center, and guard positions. Game ID Score Limitation: overlook team spirit select players with the highest score in each group Methods calculate the average scores of players across all games … …
Motivation & Problem Statement consider their combined scores in the same game Select the top-k combinations according to top-m aggregate scores Tuple aggregation function Instance aggregation function Top-k,m Problem
Motivation & Problem Statement Top-1,2: select the top-1combination of players according to top-2 aggregate scores for games where they played together. F2C1G1 is the best combination, since (21.51 + 18.76) is the highest overall score.
Difference between top-k queries and top-k,m queries Top-k,m Top-k Return the top-k combinations of attributes Return the top-ktuples Cannot be transformed into a SQL Can be transformed into a SQL
Application XML keyword refinement Example Q = {DB;UC Irvine; 2002} Groups: G1 = {"DB"; "database"}, G2={"UCI";"UC Irvine"} G3 = {"2002"}. Consider a top-1,2 query Answer: Q’={DB, UCI, 2002}

Optimization heuristics (1) Pruning combinations without computing the bounds (A3,B2) is dominated by (A2,B1) 6.3<7.1 and 8.0<8.2
Optimization heuristics (2) Reducing the number of accesses Avoiding both sorted and random accesses for specific lists (A1,B1)and(A1,B2) cannot be part of answers, all sorted accesses and random accesses on list A1 are unnecessary.
Optimization heuristics (3) Reducing the number of accesses Reducing random accesses across two lists (A1,B1,C1)and(A1,B1,C2) cannot be part of answers, random accesses between A1 and B1 are unnecessary.
Optimization heuristics (4) Reducing the number of accesses Eliminating random accesses for specific tuples Random access from Le to Lt for tuple x is useless

Interesting theoretical results Optimality properties Instance Optimality • If wild guesses are not allowed, and the size of each group is treated as a constant, then ULA and ULA+ are instance-optimal. for every instance there exist two constants a and b such that cost(A) <= a*cost(A’) + b The upper bound of the optimality ratio is tight
Interesting theoretical results (Cont.) Optimality properties No Instance Optimal Algorithms • If wild guesses are allowed, Then there is no deterministic algorithm that is instance-optimal.
