A Hierarchical Bayesian Language Model Based On Pitman-Yor Processes
We propose a new hierarchical Bayesian n-gram model of natural languages. Our model makes use of a generalization of the commonly used Dirichlet distributions called Pitman-Yor pr...

Hierarchical Topic Models and the Nested Chinese Restaurant Process
We address the problem of learning topic hierarchies from data. The model selection problem in this domain is daunting—which of the large collection of possible trees to use? We...

A Topic-Based Measure of Resource Description Quality for Distributed Information Retrieval
The aim of query-based sampling is to obtain a sufficient, representative sample of an underlying (text) collection. Current measures for assessing sample quality are too coarse gr...

Two-stage language models for information retrieval
The optimal settings of retrieval parameters often depend on both the document collection and the query, and are usually found through empirical tuning. In this paper, we propose ...
