We investigate the problem of how to evaluate, fast and efficiently, classes of optimal route queries on a massive graph in a unified framework. To evaluate a route query effectiv...
Similarity calculations and document ranking form the computationally expensive parts of query processing in ranking-based text retrieval. In this work, for these calculations, 11...
In many text retrieval tasks, it is highly desirable to obtain a "similarity profile" of the document collection for a given query. We propose sampling-based techniques ...
In a new approach to large-scale extraction of facts from unstructured text, distributional similarities become an integral part of both the iterative acquisition of high-coverage...

Ray tracing and Monte-Carlo based global illumination, as well as radiosity and other finite-element based global illumination methods, all require repeated evaluation of quantita...
