Abstract
A method and apparatus for implementing a learning model for facilitating answering a query on a database. Example embodiments include processing logic to: receive access to a database having a plurality of rows; determine for each row in the plurality of rows which of a plurality of child nodes to associate with a row based on the row and current parameters, where the current parameters correspond to parameters of a probability distribution for the plurality of child nodes; determine new parameters for the plurality of child nodes based on associated rows of the plurality of rows; determine whether or not to return a result which indicates the new parameters based on the current parameters, the new parameters, and the plurality of rows; and return a result which indicates the new parameters.
