  2. Inverted index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_index

    The purpose of an inverted index is to allow fast full-text searches, at a cost of increased processing when a document is added to the database. [2] The inverted file may be the database file itself, rather than its index. It is the most popular data structure used in document retrieval systems, [3] used on a large scale for example in search ...

  3. Explicit semantic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_semantic_analysis

    Using this inverted index, one can find for any word the set of Wikipedia articles containing this word; in the vocabulary of Egozi, Markovitch and Gabrilovitch, "each word appearing in the Wikipedia corpus can be seen as triggering each of the concepts it points to in the inverted index." [1] The output of the inverted index for a single word ...

  4. Search engine indexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_indexing

    The forward index is sorted to transform it to an inverted index. The forward index is essentially a list of pairs consisting of a document and a word, collated by the document. Converting the forward index to an inverted index is only a matter of sorting the pairs by the words. In this regard, the inverted index is a word-sorted forward index.

  5. Inversion encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_Encoding

    The Hamming distance (the number of bits in which they differ) between the present bus value (also counting the present invert line) and the next data value is computed.; If the Hamming distance is larger than n/2, invert is set to 1, and the next bus value is made equal to the inverted next data value.

  7. Reverse index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_index

    In database management systems, a reverse key index strategy reverses the key value before entering it in the index. [1] E.g., the value 24538 becomes 83542 in the index. Reversing the key value is particularly useful for indexing data such as sequence numbers , where each new key value is greater than the prior value, i.e., values ...

  8. Inversion list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_list

    In computer science, an inversion list is a data structure that describes a set of non-overlapping numeric ranges, stored in increasing order. The set is stored in an array. Every other element is the first element of a range, and every other element is the first element after that range (a half-open range).

  9. Database index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index

    In most cases, an index is used to quickly locate the data records from which the required data is read. In other words, the index is only used to locate data records in the table and not to return data. A covering index is a special case where the index itself contains the required data fields and can answer the required data.
