Query substitution is an important problem in information retrieval. Much work focuses on how to find substitutes for any given query. In this paper, we study how to efficiently ...
Abstract. We consider the problem of accurately estimating the number of approximate XML answers for a given query, and propose an efficient method that (1) accurately computes sel...
Abstract. We consider the problem of encoding a graph with n vertices and m edges compactly supporting adjacency, neighborhood and degree queries in constant time in the log n-bit ...
We study probabilistic bit-probe schemes for the membership problem. Given a set A of at most n elements from the universe of size m we organize such a structure that queries of t...
The ability to compute top-k matches to XML queries is gaining importance due to the increasing number of large XML repositories. The efficiency of top-k query evaluation relies o...
