Several IR tasks rely, to achieve high efficiency, on a single pervasive data structure called the inverted index. This is a mapping from the terms in a text collection to the docu...
In this paper we propose a new data structure, called shared automata, for representing deterministic finite automata (DFA). Shared automata admit a strong canonical form for DFA ...
Object-oriented and object-relational databases(OODB) need to be able to load the vast quantities of data that OODB users bring to them. Loading OODB datais significantly more com...
We consider segment intersection searching amidst (possibly intersecting) algebraic arcs in the plane. We show how to preprocess n arcs in time O(n2+ ) into a data structure of si...
Clustering aims to find useful hidden structures in data. In this paper we present a new clustering algorithm that builds upon the consistency method (Zhou, et.al., 2003), a semi-...
