Large search engines process thousands of queries per second over billions of documents, making query processing a major performance bottleneck. An important class of optimization...
Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
In document retrieval using pseudo relevance feedback, after initial ranking, a fixed number of top-ranked documents are selected as feedback to build a new expansion query model. ...
We investigate the problem of how to evaluate, fast and efficiently, classes of optimal route queries on a massive graph in a unified framework. To evaluate a route query effectiv...
As XQuery nears standardization, more sophisticated XQuery applications are emerging, which often exploit the entire language and are applied to non-trivial XML sources. We propos...
