Pseudo-relevance feedback has proven effective for improving the average retrieval performance. Unfortunately, many experiments have shown that although pseudo-relevance feedback...
As one of the most effective query expansion approaches, local feedback is able to automatically discover new query terms and improve retrieval accuracy for different retrieval ...
Is it possible to use sense inventories to improve Web search results diversity for one word queries? To answer this question, we focus on two broad-coverage lexical resources of ...
We investigate runtime strategies for data-intensive applications that involve generalized reductions on large, distributed datasets. Our set of strategies includes replicated fi...
Distributions of the senses of words are often highly skewed. This fact is exploited by word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems which back off to the predominant (most frequent) s...
