Talk by Vasilis Vassalos on DB Seminar
Score-consistent algebraic optimization of full text queries
Abstract
We discuss solutions to two important open problems for the execution of full-text search queries. First, we show how to correctly apply traditional database rewrite optimizations to full-text query plans with integrated scoring, and explain why existing techniques fail. Second, we show how our techniques are applied in a generic scoring framework that supports a wide class of scoring algorithms, including algorithms seen in the literature and user-defined scoring. These are the first steps towards the creation of a performant cost-based information retrieval engine.
