An experimental adaptive filtering system, built on the Okapi search engine, is described. In addition to the regular text retrieval functions, the system requires a complex set o...
Relevance feedback has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for improving retrieval accuracy. The existing relevance feedback algorithms based on language models and vect...
Pseudo-relevance feedback is an effective technique for improving retrieval results. Traditional feedback algorithms use a whole feedback document as a unit to extract words for ...
In this paper we present a system which uses ontological resources and a gene name variation generation tool to expand concepts in the original query. The novelty of our approach ...
