Scalable similarity search is the core of many large scale learning or data mining applications. Recently, many research results demonstrate that one promising approach is creatin...
Web cache technologies have been developed as an extension of CPU cache, by modifying LRU (Least Recently Used) algorithms. Actually in web cache systems, we can use disks and ter...
Web-based search engines such as Google and NorthernLight return documents that are relevant to a user query, not answers to user questions. We have developed an architecture that...

Ranking queries are essential tools to process large amounts of probabilistic data that encode exponentially many possible deterministic instances. In many applications where unce...
Local search is a specialization of the web search that allows users to submit geographically constrained queries. However, one of the challenges for local search engines is to un...
