SAUCE: Truncated Sparse Document Signature Bit-Vectors for Fast Web-Scale Corpus Expansion

Proceedings of the 30th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM ’21), 2021

In this paper, we use bit-vector document representation for corpus expansion, resulting in a reduction of memory footprint by 24%, retrieval of 6.8% more rare terms, and a reduction of query execution time by 78%.
