Abstract. In this paper we unify divergence minimization and statistical inference by means of convex duality. In the process of doing so, we prove that the dual of approximate max...
When investigating alternative estimates for term discriminativeness, we discovered that relevance information and idf are much closer related than formulated in classical literat...
Understanding query ambiguity in web search remains an important open problem. In this paper we reexamine query ambiguity by analyzing the result clickthrough data. Previously pro...
