Search engines process queries conjunctively to restrict the size of the answer set. Further, it is not rare to observe a mismatch between the vocabulary used in the text of Web p...
In high-dimensional query processing, the optimization of the logical page-size of index structures is an important research issue. Even very simple query processing techniques suc...
Abstract. We present transformations of linearly ordered sets into ordered abelian groups and ordered fields. We study effective properties of the transformations. In particular, w...
: This paper describes an approach to information retrieval based on a syntactic analysis of the document texts and user queries, and from that analysis, the construction of tree s...
Approximate queries on a collection of strings are important in many applications such as record linkage, spell checking, and Web search, where inconsistencies and errors exist in...
