Using hashing to solve the dictionary problem
We consider the dictionary problem in external memory and improve the update time of the wellknown buffer tree by roughly a logarithmic factor. For any λ ≥ max{lg lg n, logM/B(...

Randomized Parallel Selection
We show that selection on an input of size N can be performed on a P-node hypercube (P = N/(log N)) in time O(N/P) with high probability, provided each node can process all the in...

Lower-bounding term frequency normalization
In this paper, we reveal a common deficiency of the current retrieval models: the component of term frequency (TF) normalization by document length is not lower-bounded properly;...
