Long queries frequently contain many extraneous terms that hinder retrieval of relevant documents. We present techniques to reduce long queries to more effective shorter ones tha...
Query performance prediction is aimed at predicting the retrieval effectiveness that a query will achieve with respect to a particular ranking model. In this paper, we study quer...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a novel approach for query performance prediction based on ranking list scores dispersion. Starting from the hypothesis that different score d...
