CoFeed: privacy-preserving Web search recommendation based on collaborative aggregation of interest feedback

Pascal Felber, Martin Rajman, Vinh Toan Luu

Search engines essentially rely on the structure of the graph of hyperlinks. Although accurate for the main trend, this is not effective when some query is ambiguous. Leveraging semantic information by the mean of interest matching allows proposing complem ...

Query-Driven Indexing for Scalable Peer-to-Peer Text Retrieval

Martin Rajman, Karl Aberer, Gleb Skobeltsyn, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar

In this paper, we present a query-driven indexing/retrieval strategy for efficient full text retrieval from large document collections distributed within a structured P2P network. Our indexing strategy is based on two important properties: (1) the generate ...

Query-Driven Indexing for Scalable Peer-to-Peer Text Retrieval

Martin Rajman, Karl Aberer, Gleb Skobeltsyn, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar

We present a query-driven algorithm for the distributed indexing of large document collections within structured P2P networks. To cope with bandwidth consumption that has been identified as the major problem for the standard P2P approach with single term i ...

AlvisP2P: Scalable Peer-to-Peer Text Retrieval in a Structured P2P Network

Martin Rajman, Karl Aberer, Fabius Klemm, Gleb Skobeltsyn, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar

In this paper we present the AlvisP2P IR engine, which enables efficient retrieval with multi-keyword queries from a global document collection available in a P2P network. In such a network, each peer publishes its local index and invests a part of its loc ...

Web Text Retrieval with a P2P Query-Driven Index

Martin Rajman, Karl Aberer, Gleb Skobeltsyn, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar

In this paper, we present a query-driven indexing/retrieval strategy for efficient full text retrieval from large document collections distributed within a structured P2P network. Our indexing strategy is based on two important properties: (1) the generate ...

Query-Driven Indexing for Peer-to-Peer Text Retrieval

Martin Rajman, Karl Aberer, Gleb Skobeltsyn, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar

We describe a query-driven indexing framework for scalable text retrieval over structured P2P networks. To cope with the bandwidth consumption problem that has been identified as the major obstacle for full-text retrieval in P2P networks, we truncate posti ...

Scalable Peer-to-Peer Web Retrieval with Highly Discriminative Keys

Martin Rajman, Karl Aberer, Fabius Klemm, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar

The suitability of peer-to-peer (P2P) approaches for full-text Web retrieval has recently been questioned because of the claimed unacceptable bandwidth consumption induced by retrieval from very large document collections. In this contribution we formalize ...

Scalable peer-to-peer Web search using highly discriminative keys

Vinh Toan Luu

Standard general-purpose Web retrieval relies on centralized search engines that do not realistically scale when applied to the exponentially growing number of documents available on the Web. By taking advantage of the resource sharing principle, Peer-to-P ...

A Peer-to-Peer Architecture for Information Retrieval Across Digital Library Collections

Martin Rajman, Karl Aberer, Fabius Klemm, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar

Peer-to-peer networks have been identified as promising architectural concept for developing search scenarios across digital library collections. Digital libraries typically offer sophisticated search over their local content, however, search methods invol ...

Beyond term indexing: A P2P framework for Web information retrieval

Martin Rajman, Karl Aberer, Fabius Klemm, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar

Web search over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks shows promise to become an alternative to the state-of-the-art search engines since P2P overlays offer means for decentralized search across widely-distributed document collections. However, the design of effecti ...
