This paper gives an overview of the tools and methods for Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) that were developed within the Twenty-One project. The tools and methods are evaluated with the TREC CLIR task document collection using Dutch queries on the English document base. The main issue addressed here is an evaluation of two approaches to disambiguation. The underlying question is whe...

String searching is a pervasive primitive of computation. In on-line string searching, the text string is given in advance, but it is required that, as soon as one finishes reading a pattern, it must be possible to decide whether or not it occurs in the text. This paper surveys serial and parallel methods fOT on-line string searching. The auxiliary structures used aTe also suited to a host of o...

P2P netw orks are playing an important role in current scenario of unstructured networks. P2P netw ork supports various applications and taking the advantage over the centralize search system .Centralize search systems suffer from the problems of single point of failure, low availability, denial of service attacks. Searching of the required data is a vital issue in the P2P netw ork. Many method...

A new search method to the feature selection problem – the tournament searching – is proposed and compared with other popular feature selection methods. The tournament feature selection method is a simple stochastic searching method with only one parameter controlling the global-local searching properties of the algorithm. It is less complicated and easier to use than other stochastic methods, ...
