Recent work in supervised learning of term-based retrieval models has shown significantly improved accuracy can often be achieved via better model estimation [2, 10, 11, 17]. In ...
The inclusion of document length factors has been a major topic in the development of retrieval models. We believe that current models can be further improved by more refined est...
Empirical modeling of the score distributions associated with retrieved documents is an essential task for many retrieval applications. In this work, we propose modeling the releva...
Context-awareness for information retrieval is challenging problem as information about the users current situation is rarely available. If such information would be available, re...
