Abstract  

The inverted file is the most popular indexing mechanism in an information retrieval system. Compressing an inverted file can greatly improve document search rate and save disk space. Traditionally, the d-gaps technique is used in the inverted file compression by replacing document identifiers with usually much smaller gap values. However, fluctuating gap values cannot be efficiently compressed by some well-known prefix-free codes. In this paper, a document identifier reassignment algorithm is proposed to reduce the gap values. Simulation results show that the average gap values of the inverted files can be reduced effectively.
