The TASTIER Project on Efficient Auto-Completion, Type-Ahead Search

TASTIER: Efficient Auto-Completion, Type-Ahead Search

Objective

TASTIER is a joint research project between Tsinghua University and UC Irvine. It focuses on efficient autocompletion, type-ahead search on large data sets of various types, such as relational data, documents, semi-structured data. "TASTIER" stands for type-ahead search techniques in large data sets.
