Passage retrieval and pseudo relevance feedback/query expansion have been reported as two effective means for improving document retrieval in literature. Relevance models, while im...
In this paper, we present a new cost model for nearest neighbor search in high-dimensional data space. We first analyze different nearest neighbor algorithms, present a generaliza...
Linear constraint databases and query languages are appropriate for spatial database applications. Not only the data model is natural to represent a large portion of spatial data s...
Management of various complex resources is an important issue to be well done, in order to fulfill the potential of Grid. In this paper, we propose a formal data model and algebra ...
