Recent work in supervised learning of term-based retrieval models has shown significantly improved accuracy can often be achieved via better model estimation [2, 10, 11, 17]. In ...
We consider two of the most commonly cited measures of retrieval performance: average precision and R-precision. It is well known that average precision and R-precision are highly...
Abstract. In this paper, we explore the syntactic relation patterns for opendomain factoid question answering. We propose a pattern extraction method to extract the various relatio...
Video information retrieval requires a system to find information relevant to a query which may be represented simultaneously in different ways through a text description, audio...
Soboroff, Nicholas and Cahan recently proposed a method for evaluating the performance of retrieval systems without relevance judgments. They demonstrated that the system evaluat...
