Circuits for Querying Trees - A Little Survey

Explore a comprehensive survey on circuits for querying trees in this 32-minute lecture by Pierre Bourhis from CNRS CRISTAL. Delve into the world of tree automata and their significance in efficient query execution. Examine the knowledge compilation approach, its adaptability to various query answering problems, and its applications in enumeration and probabilistic evaluation. Gain insights into the results achievable through this method and understand its limitations. Learn about the intersection of logic and algebra in query evaluation, and discover how this approach has evolved over recent decades to address major challenges in tree querying.
