We present a general method of parallel query processing that allows scalable performance on distributed inverted files. The method allows the realization of a hybrid that combin...
We present a simple and efficient external perfect hashing scheme (referred to as EPH algorithm) for very large static key sets. We use a number of techniques from the literature ...
Paraphrasing van Rijsbergen [37], the time is ripe for another attempt at using natural language processing (NLP) for information retrieval (IR). This paper introduces my disserta...
