Abstract. The Multiple Bernoulli (MB) Language Model has been generally considered too computationally expensive for practical purposes and superseded by the more efficient multino...
We systematically compare five representative state-of-theart methods for estimating query language models with pseudo feedback in ad hoc information retrieval, including two var...
Graphical diagrams are the main modelling constructs offered by the popular modelling language UML. Because textual representations of models also have their benefits, we investig...
Randomised techniques allow very big language models to be represented succinctly. However, being batch-based they are unsuitable for modelling an unbounded stream of language whi...
Traditional n-gram language models are widely used in state-of-the-art large vocabulary speech recognition systems. This simple model suffers from some limitations, such as overfi...
