Sufficient Explanations in Databases and their Connections to Database Repairs

2025-11-19 · Leopoldo Bertossi, Nina Pardal arxiv

We investigate the notion of sufficient explanation, and a sufficiency-degree as attribution score for database tuples in relation to query answering. We also investigate and exploit connections with database repairs as used for dealing with inconsistent databases; and with causality-based necessary explanations, obtaining new computational results. We show how to use answer-set programs to specify sufficient explanations and compute sufficiency-degrees.

From Causes for Database Queries to Repairs and Model-Based Diagnosis and Back

2015-07-01 · Leopoldo Bertossi, Babak Salimi

In this work we establish and investigate connections between causes for query answers in databases, database repairs wrt. denial constraints, and consistency-based diagnosis. The first two are relatively new research ar…

Query-Answer Causality in Databases: Abductive Diagnosis and View-Updates
