Best Position Algorithms for Top-k Queries
Summary: Introduces BPA, which provably never costs more than Threshold Algorithm (TA) and can stop up to m−1 times earlier. BPA2 further reduces sorted-list accesses by roughly m−1×, delivering substantial empirical gains for top-k queries. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 21 2026)
