We introduce the proximity rank join problem, where we are given a set of relations whose tuples are equipped with a score and a real-valued feature vector. Given a target feature...
Abstract. We are presenting a coherent framework for XQuery processing that incorporates IR-style approximate matching and allows the ordering of results by their relevance score. ...
We consider the problem of efficiently computing weighted proximity best-joins over multiple lists, with applications in information retrieval and extraction. We are given a multi-...
