The classical probabilistic models attempt to capture the Ad hoc information retrieval problem within a rigorous probabilistic framework. It has long been recognized that the prim...
The retrieval performance of an information retrieval system usually increases when it uses the relationships among the terms contained in a given document collection. However, th...
Nonmonotonic logic is a branch of logic that has been developed to model situations with incomplete information. We argue that there is a connection between AOP and nonmonotonic l...
The main goal of this research is to improve Information Retrieval Systems by enabling them to generate search outcomes that are relevant and customized to each specific user. Our ...
A fundamental problem in peer-to-peer networks is how to locate appropriate peers efficiently to answer a specific query request. This paper proposes a model in which semantically...
