Top-k keyword query on uncertain database. Journal of Fron- tiers of Computer Science and Technology, 2011, 5(9): 781-790. Abstract: The problems of keyword search on relational databases and uncertain data management have been con- sidered extensively, however addressed in isolation in the past. This paper introduces a novel method that combines IR-style keyword query with uncertain relational databases, and defines an uncertain model and its query semantics. The paper also shows a top-k algorithm to perform keyword search query on the attribute level, and return k query results which have maximum rank scores. Rank score of a query result is well-defined, depending on its correlation with query keywords and its possibility under the possible world. An optimized algorithm is introduced to reduce the complexity of the top-k query. The experimental results demonstrate the practicality and efficiency of these methods. Key words: keyword search; uncertainty; top-k; possible world 关系数据库上的关键字检索和不确定数据处理过去一直是两个独立的研究方向。研究了运用关键 字方法检索不确定数据的问题, 定义了不确定关键字查询的基本模型和语义, 提出了一种在属性级粒度的 不确定数据库上进行top-k 关键字检索的算法。该算法根据用户指定的k 值,
