Aside from the work on probabilistic inference, there is also many papers on "probabilistic databases" in the last 10 years (Chris did his PhD on that topic). That work has looked at SQL-style query processing over "uncertain"/"probabilistic" data.
These were some of the major projects: https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~suciu/project-mystiq.html https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~suciu/project-mystiq.html, http://maybms.sourceforge.net/ http://maybms.sourceforge.net/, http://infolab.stanford.edu/trio/ http://infolab.stanford.edu/trio/, http://www.cs.umd.edu/~amol/PrDB/ http://www.cs.umd.edu/~amol/PrDB/, http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1376686 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1376686.

- nl 12y agoIs it? I thought BlinkDB was data warehousing on hdfs? I dont see any mention of inference-like features in the docs?
- anonetal 12y agoIt's not similar. BlinkDB builds upon the work on sampling-driven approximate SQL query processing (an early project in that space was AQUA@Bell Labs), and extends it to cloud/HDFS setting. Although some terms come up in both places (e.g., confidence bounds, noise, etc), BlinkDB and probabilistic databases are fundamentally different from each other (I have worked on both topics).
