Information Retrieval Systems aim at retrieving relevant documents according to the information needs which users express. Most Information Retrieval Systems focus on passage retr...
We analyse the kinematics of probabilistic term weights at retrieval time for di erent Information Retrieval models. We present four models based on di erent notions of probabilis...
Following the tradition of these acceptance talks, I will be giving my thoughts on where our field is going. Any discussion of the future of information retrieval (IR) research, h...
Many traditional information retrieval models, such as BM25 and language modeling, give good retrieval effectiveness, but can be difficult to implement efficiently. Recently, docum...
This paper describes a vector space equalization scheme for a concept-based collaborative information retrieval system; evaluation results are given. The authors previously propos...
