Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to enhanced faceted
search support for OLAP queries over unstructured text as well as
structured dimensions by the dynamic and automatic discovery of
dimensions that are determined to be most "interesting" to a user based
upon the data. Within the exemplary embodiments "interestingness" is
defined as how surprising a summary along some dimensions is from a
user's expectation. Further, multi-attribute facets are determined and a
user is optionally permitted to specify the distribution of values that
she expects, and/or the distance metric by which actual and expected
distributions are to be compared.
