We introduce a representation system for relational data based on algebraic factorisation using distributivity of product over union and commutativity of product and union. We giv...
Informative labeling schemes consist in labeling the nodes of graphs so that queries regarding any two nodes (e.g., are the two nodes adjacent?) can be answered by inspecting mere...
A distance oracle is a compact representation of the shortest distance matrix of a graph. It can be queried to retrieve approximate distances and corresponding paths between any p...
Snippets are used by almost every text search engine to complement ranking schemes in order to effectively handle user keyword search. Despite the fact that XML is a standard repr...
We prove lower bounds on the redundancy necessary to represent a set S of objects using a number of bits close to the information-theoretic minimum log2 |S|, while answering vario...
