This paper proposes a distributional model of word use and word meaning which is derived purely from a body of text, and then applies this model to determine whether certain words...
Ensuring model quality is a key success factor in many computer science areas, and becomes crucial in recent software engineering paradigms like the one proposed by model-driven s...
In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach to query segmentation, an important task in Web search. We use a generative query model to recover a query's underlyin...
Genomic IR, characterized by its highly specific information need, severe synonym and polysemy problem, long term name and rapid growing literature size, is challenging IR communit...
