In the robust track, we mainly tested our passage-based retrieval model with different passage sizes and weighting schemes. In our approach, we used two retrieval models, namely t...
This paper examines the estimation of global term weights (such as IDF) in information retrieval scenarios where a global view on the collection is not available. In particular, t...
Most image retrieval systems only allow a fragment of text or an example image as a query. Most users have more complex information needs that are not easily expressed in either of...
Abstract. Traditional retrieval models assume that query terms are independent and rank documents primarily based on various term weighting strategies including TF-IDF and document...
In this work, we study similarity measures for text-centric XML documents based on an extended vector space model, which considers both document content and structure. Experimenta...
