Evaluation Strategies for Top-k Queries over Memory-Resident Inverted Indexes
Summary: Evaluation of DAAT vs TAAT top-k query strategies over memory-resident inverted indexes in Yahoo's online-ad platform. Adapts disk-oriented algorithms to memory and shows up to 60% latency and cost reductions on real ad workloads, confirming algorithmic gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
