There has been a large amount of research on efficient document retrieval in both IR and web search areas. One important technique to improve retrieval efficiency is early termina...
Modern web search engines are expected to return top-k results efficiently given a query. Although many dynamic index pruning strategies have been proposed for efficient top-k com...
We present an efficient prototype for music information retrieval. The prototype uses bitparallel algorithms for locating transposition invariant matches of monophonic query melod...
Stand-alone ranking systems based on highly optimized inverted file structures are generally considered `the' solution for building search engines. Observing various developm...
Current approaches to K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) search in mobile sensor networks require certain kind of indexing support. This index could be either a centralized spatial index or...
