In this paper we propose several merging strategies to integrate the result lists of each intermediate run in distributed MLIR. The prediction of retrieval effectiveness was used t...
We have investigated two major issues in Distributed Information Retrieval (DIR), namely: collection selection and search results merging. While most published works on these two ...
Result merging is a key component in a metasearch engine. Once the results from various search engines are collected, the metasearch system merges them into a single ranked list. T...
