Current semi-structured keyword search and natural language query processing systems use ad hoc approaches to take advantage of structural information. Although intuitive, they ar...
This paper explores the question of when two propagationbased constraint systems have the same behaviour, in terms of search space. We categorise the behaviour of domain and bound...
Abstract: Parallel heuristic search algorithms are widely used in artificial intelligence. This paper describes novel parallel variants of two standard sequential search algorithms...
Keyword-based web query languages suffer from a lack of precision when searching for a precise kind of documents. Indeed, some documents cannot be simply characterized by a list o...
Variants of Huffman codes where words are taken as the source symbols are currently the most attractive choices to compress natural language text databases. In particular, Tagged...
