In this paper we demonstrate that in an ideal Distributed Information Retrieval environment, taking the ability of each collection server to return relevant documents into account...
We propose a partitioning scheme for similarity search indexes that is called Maximal Metric Margin Partitioning (MMMP). MMMP divides the data on the basis of its distribution pat...
This paper proposes a demo of the TopX search engine, an extensive framework for unified indexing, querying, and ranking of large collections of unstructured, semistructured, and ...
Content-addressability is a fundamental feature of human memory underlying many associative information retrieval tasks. In contrast to location-based memory devices, content-addre...
