We present a model, based on the maximum entropy method, for analyzing various measures of retrieval performance such as average precision, R-precision, and precision-at-cutoffs....
The ontology development process is typically led by single or small groups of experts, with users mostly playing a passive role. Such an elitist approach in building ontologies h...
Information retrieval systems have to deal with uncertain knowledge and query results should reflect this uncertainty in some manner. However, Semantic Web ontologies are based on...
