Infinite Probabilistic Databases

Authors: Martin Grohe and Peter Lindner

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 155, 23rd International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2020)


Abstract
Probabilistic databases (PDBs) are used to model uncertainty in data in a quantitative way. In the standard formal framework, PDBs are finite probability spaces over relational database instances. It has been argued convincingly that this is not compatible with an open-world semantics (Ceylan et al., KR 2016) and with application scenarios that are modeled by continuous probability distributions (Dalvi et al., CACM 2009). We recently introduced a model of PDBs as infinite probability spaces that addresses these issues (Grohe and Lindner, PODS 2019). While that work was mainly concerned with countably infinite probability spaces, our focus here is on uncountable spaces. Such an extension is necessary to model typical continuous probability distributions that appear in many applications. However, an extension beyond countable probability spaces raises nontrivial foundational issues concerned with the measurability of events and queries and ultimately with the question whether queries have a well-defined semantics. It turns out that so-called finite point processes are the appropriate model from probability theory for dealing with probabilistic databases. This model allows us to construct suitable (uncountable) probability spaces of database instances in a systematic way. Our main technical results are measurability statements for relational algebra queries as well as aggregate queries and Datalog queries.

08421 Working Group: Classification, Representation and Modeling

Authors: Anish Das Sarma, Ander de Keijzer, Amol Deshpande, Peter J. Haas, Ihab F. Ilyas, Christoph Koch, Thomas Neumann, Dan Olteanu, Martin Theobald, and Vasilis Vassalos

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8421, Uncertainty Management in Information Systems (2009)


Abstract
This report briefly summarizes the discussions carried out in the working group on classification, representation and modeling of uncertain data. The discussion was divided into two subgroups: the first subgroup studied how different representation and modeling alternatives currently proposed can fit in a bigger picture of theory and technology interaction, while the second subgroup focused on contrasting current system implementations and the reasons behind such diverse class of available prototypes. We summarize the findings of these two groups and the future steps suggested by group members.
