Score region algebra
2005
Proceedings of the 14th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '05
We propose a logical algebra, named score region algebra, that enables transparent specification of information retrieval (IR) models for XML databases. ...
Our algebra operators model three important aspects of XML retrieval: element relevance score computation, element score propagation, and element score combination. ...
[13, 14] , where the authors developed an XML IR path-based algebra and an XML IR query language named XIRQL. ...

Modelling Vague Content and Structure Querying in XML Retrieval with a Probabilistic Object-Relational Framework
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Many XML retrieval applications require relevance-oriented ranking of retrieved elements in order to capture the vagueness inherent to the information retrieval process. ...
In this paper, we use a probabilistic object-relational framework to model representation and retrieval strategies that take into account vagueness at both content and structure level. ...
PRA representation of XML documents For evaluating POOL programs, we translate them into PRA (which stands for probabilistic relational algebra) expressions. ...

For processing XIRQL queries, a path algebra is presented, that also serves as a starting point for query optimization. ...
Current proposals for XML query languages lack most IR-related features, which are weighting and ranking, relevance-oriented search, datatypes with vague predicates, and semantic relativism. ...
This work is part of a project that will develop an open source retrieval engine for XML retrieval, especially for digital libraries. ...

XIRQL
2004
ACM Transactions on Information Systems
Most proposals for XML query languages are based on the data-centric view on XML and do not support uncertainty and vagueness, thus being insuitable for information retrieval (IR) of XML documents. ...
For processing XIRQL queries, a path algebra is presented which also serves as a starting point for query optimization. ...
For example, a particular information could be encoded as an XML attribute or as an XML element. ...

TIJAH: Embracing IR Methods in XML Databases
2005
Information retrieval (Boston)
This paper discusses our participation in INEX (the Initiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval) using the TIJAH XML-IR system. ...
For each pattern, we present its mapping into a query execution strategy. The logical layer exploits score region algebra (SRA) as the basis for query processing. ...

Introduction to the special issue on database and information retrieval integration
2007
The VLDB journal
A number of approaches have been suggested, both from the database and information retrieval (IR) perspective, but the motivation for finding a solution or solutions that work has grown tremendously since ...
There are many possibilities for integration such as extending a database model to more effectively deal with probabilities, extending an IR model to handle more complex structures and multiple relations ...
s paper describes an approach to search XML data, and Schenkel et al.'s paper describes optimization techniques for an XML retrieval system. ...

A database approach to information retrieval: The remarkable relationship between language models and region models
[article]
2010
arXiv
pre-print
In this report, we unify two quite distinct approaches to information retrieval: region models and language models. Region models were developed for structured document retrieval. ...
We show a remarkable one-to-one relationship between region queries and the language models they represent for a wide variety of applications: simple ad-hoc search, cross-language retrieval, video retrieval ...
We like to thank Henk Ernst Blok for fruitful discussions on region algebras, and Maarten Fokkinga and Thijs Westerveld (CWI, Amsterdam) for helpful comments on the report. ...

Proceedings of the 28th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '05
We address the problem of developing a flexible framework for information retrieval (IR) in structured documents, such as XML. ...
It is based on so-called score region algebra (SRA) that can express the following four essential ranked retrieval aspects for structured IR: term and element selection, element relevance score computation ...

Towards a Statistically Semantic Web
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We discuss how statistically quantified ontological relations can be exploited in XML retrieval, how statistics can help in making Web-scale search efficient, and how statistical information extracted ...
We believe these are decisive issues for improving the quality of next-generation search engines for intranets, digital libraries, and the Web, and they are crucial also for peer-to-peer collaborative ...
The outlined algorithm for approximate top-k queries with probabilistic guarantees is a versatile building block for XML ranked retrieval. ...

Various models of probabilistic XML provide different languages, with various degrees of expressiveness, for such compact representations. ...
For instance, query evaluation entails probabilistic inference, and update operations need to properly change the entire probability space. ...
