Inverted files are widely used to index documents in large-scale information retrieval systems. An inverted file consists of posting lists, which can be stored in either a documen...
Many information retrieval systems use the inverted file as indexing structure. The inverted file, however, is not suited to supporting incremental updates when new documents are ...
Abstract. This paper proposes and presents a comparison of scheduling algorithms applied to the context of load balancing the query traffic on distributed inverted files. We put em...
We present three distributed algorithms to build global inverted files for very large text collections. The distributed environment we use is a high bandwidth network of workstati...
