Efficient Retrieval of the Top-k Most Relevant Spatial Web Objects

Summary: Introduces a location-aware top-k retrieval framework combining inverted files for textual relevance with R-trees for spatial proximity. Joint pruning algorithms and indexing variants avoid naive search, yielding scalable performance on geo-tagged web objects. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
