In this report, we unify two quite distinct approaches to information retrieval: region models and language models. Region models were developed for structured document retrieval....
In this contribution, a fuzzy-set-based information retrieval model is considered. First, we show that the retrieval mechanism of such a retrieval model can be defined in terms of ...
We analyse the kinematics of probabilistic term weights at retrieval time for di erent Information Retrieval models. We present four models based on di erent notions of probabilis...
The use of phrases in retrieval models has been proven to be helpful in the literature, but no particular research addresses the problem of discriminating phrases that are likely ...
