We investigate the problem of finding reverse nearest neighbors efficiently. Although provably good solutions exist for this problem in low or fixed dimensions, to this date the methods proposed in high dimensions are mostly heuristic. We…

Vector search plays a crucial role in many real-world applications. In addition to single-vector search, multi-vector search becomes important for multi-modal and multi-feature scenarios today. In a multi-vector database, each row is an…

A search query consists of several words. In a proximity full-text search, we want to find documents that contain these words near each other. This task requires much time when the query consists of high-frequently occurring words. If we…

This paper presents a novel DNA sequences alignment method based on inverted index. Now most large scale information retrieval system are all use inverted index as the basic data structure. But its application in DNA sequence alignment is…

Many large-scale Web applications that require ranked top-k retrieval such as Web search and online advertising are implemented using inverted indices. An inverted index represents a sparse term-document matrix, where non-zero elements…
