The author deeply misunderstands how WAND works, and "T-WAND" is just WAND. Once a pivot is found, you don't have to advance all the iterators that precede it, but just enough to disprove the current document, at which point a new pivot is chosen (this is equivalent to the heuristic described in the article). The order in which iterators are tested against the pivot can be term cardinality ordering (which is one of the heuristics described in the original paper AFAIR). Then, the pivot documents are a subset of what the article calls the current "tier" (union of the k rarest terms).

Feeling smug? You fundamentally misunderstand both Wand and T-Wand. I suggest you to read my article and the papers again. The novelty of T-Wand, is not in sorting the rows on idf, which T-Wand actually does NOT do, but in adding some filtering conditions that are not previously reported in the literature. You missed that, so you missed the whole point. Smugness hurts. I see that you work on Facebook Search and I know you are one of the authors in this field, I can see why your feelings are hurt. It's okay. There are always people smarter than you are, who can come into a completely new field, spend a few weeks, and come up with something new that you could not come up with when you have spent your whole career on. It's OK. When you are older, you will learn to accept that. You can only work with what life gives you. Please take my ideas and put that in Faceook Search, because it presently sucks. BTW, you should have put the PDF of your paper on the Web, then I would have read it, instead of only recognizing your name, put it on arxiv like everyone else, if you want people to read it. Also, that's why I post it on hacker news instead of publishing first in a conference. Because there will be more people reading it. Not many people read papers.
