      Çelik, Cengiz (IEEE, 2008-04)
      Among the metric space indexing methods, AESA is known to produce the lowest query costs in terms of the number of distance computations. However, its quadratic construction cost and space consumption makes it infeasiblefor ...

    • Efficiency and effectiveness of query processing in cluster-based retrieval 

      Can, F.; Altingövde I.S.; Demir, E. (Elsevier, 2004)
      Our research shows that for large databases, without considerable additional storage overhead, cluster-based retrieval (CBR) can compete with the time efficiency and effectiveness of the inverted index-based full search ...

    • Efficient processing of category-restricted queries for web directories 

      Altıngövde, İsmail Şengör; Can, Fazlı; Ulusoy, Özgür (Springer, 2008-03-04)
      We show that a cluster-skipping inverted index (CS-IIS) is a practical and efficient file structure to support category-restricted queries for searching Web directories. The query processing strategy with CS-IIS improves ...

    • Energy-price-driven query processing in multi-center web search engines 

      Kayaaslan, Enver; Cambazoglu, B. B.; Blanco, R.; Junqueira, F. P.; Aykanat, Cevdet (IEEE, 2011-07)
      Concurrently processing thousands of web queries, each with a response time under a fraction of a second, necessitates maintaining and operating massive data centers. For large-scale web search engines, this translates ...

    • First large-scale information retrieval experiments on Turkish texts 

      Can, Fazlı; Koçberber, Seyit; Balcık, Erman; Kaynak, Cihan; Öcalan, H. Çağdaş; Vursavaş, Onur M. (ACM, 2006-08)
      We present the results of the first large-scale Turkish information retrieval experiments performed on a TREC-like test collection. The test bed, which has been created for this study, contains 95.5 million words, 408,305 ...

    • A five-level static cache architecture for web search engines 

      Ozcan, R.; Altingovde, I. S.; Cambazoglu, B. B.; Junqueira, F. P.; Ulusoy, Özgür (Elsevier Ltd, 2012)
      Caching is a crucial performance component of large-scale web search engines, as it greatly helps reducing average query response times and query processing workloads on backend search clusters. In this paper, we describe ...

    • HandVR: a hand-gesture-based interface to a video retrieval system 

      Genç, S.; Baştan M.; Güdükbay, Uğur; Atalay, V.; Ulusoy, Özgür (Springer U K, 2015)
      Using one’s hands in human–computer interaction increases both the effectiveness of computer usage and the speed of interaction. One way of accomplishing this goal is to utilize computer vision techniques to develop ...

    • Implications of non-volatile memory as primary storage for database management systems 

      Mustafa, Naveed Ul; Armejach, A.; Öztürk, Özcan; Cristal, A.; Unsal, O. S. (IEEE, 2017)
      Traditional Database Management System (DBMS) software relies on hard disks for storing relational data. Hard disks are cheap, persistent, and offer huge storage capacities. However, data retrieval latency for hard disks ...

    • Incremental cluster-based retrieval using compressed cluster-skipping inverted files 

      Altingovde, I. S.; Demir, E.; Can, F.; Ulusoy, Özgür (Association for Computing Machinery, 2008-06)
      We propose a unique cluster-based retrieval (CBR) strategy using a new cluster-skipping inverted file for improving query processing efficiency. The new inverted file incorporates cluster membership and centroid information ...
