Top-k-size keyword search on tree structured data

作者:

Highlights:

• Top-k-size keyword search over tree-structured data.

• Efficient multi-stack threshold and top-k algorithms exploiting a lattice of keyword partitions.

• The algorithms demonstrate linear time complexity and scale smoothly when the size of the dataset increases.

• The approach does not rely on auxiliary indices and can be used in streaming applications.

• Novel layered ranking semantics based on the concept of LCA size.
