Given a large directed graph, rapidly answering reachability queries between source and target nodes is an important problem. Existing methods for reachability trade-off indexing ...

We provide the first linear-space data structure with provable sublinear query time for exact point-topoint shortest path queries in planar graphs. We prove that for any planar gr...
Given a planar polygonal subdivision S, the point location problem is to preprocess S into a data structure so that the cell of the subdivision that contains a given query point c...
The INESC Porto group has participated in the search task (automatic and interactive). Our approach combines high-level features (the 39 concepts of the LSCOM-Lite set) with low-l...

Point location is the problem of preprocessing a planar polygonal subdivision S into a data structure in order to determine efficiently the cell of the subdivision that contains a...
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the closest point to the boundary of a circle among a set S of n points. We present two algorithms to solve this problem. One al...
Inverted indexes using sequences of characters (n-grams) as terms provide an error-resilient and language-independent way to query for arbitrary substrings and perform approximate...
ADtrees, a data structure useful for caching sufficient statistics, have been successfully adapted to grow lazily when memory is limited and to update sequentially with an increme...

Planar point location is among the most fundamental search problems in computational geometry. Although this problem has been heavily studied from the perspective of worst-case que...

In this paper, we propose an approach for efficient approximative RkNN search in arbitrary metric spaces where the value of k is specified at query time. Our method uses an approx...
