We propose a language-model-based ranking approach for SPARQLlike queries on entity-relationship graphs. Our ranking model supports exact matching, approximate structure matching,...
String comparison is a fundamental problem in computer science, with applications in areas such as computational biology, text processing or compression. In this paper we address t...
Positional ranking functions, widely used in web search engines, improve result quality by exploiting the positions of the query terms within documents. However, it is well known ...
We address the problem of searching for a two-dimensional pattern in a two-dimensional text (or image), such that the pattern can be found even if it appears rotated and it is bri...
Abstract. Bit-parallelism permits executing several operations simultaneously over a set of bits or numbers stored in a single computer word. This technique permits searching for t...
