Passage retrieval and pseudo relevance feedback/query expansion have been reported as two effective means for improving document retrieval in literature. Relevance models, while im...
Abstract. Most Information Retrieval models take documents as Bagof-Words and are thereby bound to the language of the documents. In this paper, we present an approach using Linked...
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...
In this paper, we propose a new application of Bayesian language model based on Pitman-Yor process for information retrieval. This model is a generalization of the Dirichlet distr...
Statistical language modeling (SLM) has been used in many different domains for decades and has also been applied to information retrieval (IR) recently. Documents retrieved using...
