Pseudo-relevance feedback has proven to be an effective strategy for improving retrieval accuracy in all retrieval models. However the performance of existing pseudo feedback meth...
Well tuned Large-Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) has been shown to generally be more effective than vocabulary-independent techniques for ranked retrieval of spo...
In this paper we compare four selection strategies in evolutionary optimization of information retrieval (IR) in a question answering setting. The IR index has been augmented by li...
In this paper, we propose a new application of Bayesian language model based on Pitman-Yor process for information retrieval. This model is a generalization of the Dirichlet distr...
Information retrieval is an important application area of natural-language processing where one encounters the genuine challenge of processing large quantities of unrestricted nat...
