Bitmap indices are efficient data structures for processing complex, multi-dimensional queries in data warehouse applications and scientific data analysis. For high-cardinality at...
One popular form of semantic search observed in several modern search engines is to recognize query patterns that trigger instant answers or domain-specific search, producing sem...
