Top-k queries are very important part of information retrieval.
Queries with multiple terms have to be processed fast and
effectively. The best known general-purpose algorithm for evaluating
top-k queries is Fagin's threshold algorithm. I will present an
algorithm which uses sorted accesses only and round-robin
scheduling. However an improvement on rate of performed sorted
accesses is possible using probabilistic score prediction and other
parameters for scheduling.
