We show how full-text search based on inverted indices can be accelerated by clustering the documents without losing results (SeCluD -- SEarch with CLUstered Documents). We develop a fast multilevel clustering algorithm that explicitly uses…

In a dynamic retrieval system, documents must be ingested as they arrive, and be immediately findable by queries. Our purpose in this paper is to describe an index structure and processing regime that accommodates that requirement for…

Indexes are the best apposite choice for quickly retrieving the records. This is nothing but cutting down the number of Disk IO. Instead of scanning the complete table for the results, we can decrease the number of IO's or page fetches…

Approximate nearest neighbor search for vectors relies on indexes that are most often accessed from RAM. Therefore, storage is the factor limiting the size of the database that can be served from a machine. Lossy vector compression, i.e.,…
