Twig2Stack: Bottom-up Processing of Generalized-Tree-Pattern Queries over XML Documents

Summary: Introduces hierarchical stack encoding to compact twig results and a bottom-up Twig2Stack for GTP queries on XML. Directly enumerates from encodings with no post-processing and outperforms state-of-the-art on twig and GTP workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
