    Abstract

    Top-k query processing has recently received a significant amount of attention due to its wide application in information retrieval, multimedia search and recommendation generation. In this work, we consider the problem of how to efficiently answer a top-k query by using previously cached query results. While there has been some previous work on this problem, existing algorithms suffer from either limited scope or lack of scalability. In this paper, we propose two novel algorithms for handling this problem. The first algorithm LPTA+ provides significantly improved efficiency compared to the state-of-the-art LPTA algorithm [26] by reducing the number of expensive linear programming problems that need to be solved. The second algorithm we propose leverages a standard space partition-based index structure in order to avoid many of the drawbacks of LPTA-based algorithms, thereby further improving the efficiency of query processing. Through extensive experiments on various datasets, we demonstrate that our algorithms significantly outperform the state of the art.
