Implicit feedback algorithms utilize interaction between searchers and search systems to learn more about users’ needs and interests than expressed in query statements alone. Th...
Query translation in Cross Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) can be performed using multiple resources. Previous attempts to combine different translation resources use simple...
Song and Bruza [6] introduce a framework for Information Retrieval(IR) based on Gardenfor’s three tiered cognitive model; Conceptual Spaces[4]. They instantiate a conceptual spa...
Several applications require reasoning over autonomously developed ontologies. Initially conceived to explicit the semantics of a certain domain, these ontologies become a powerfu...
We study definability and complexity issues for automatic and ω-automatic structures. These are, in general, infinite structures but they can be finitely presented by a collec...
