In Information Retrieval (IR), the Dirichlet Priors have been applied to the smoothing technique of the language modeling approach. In this paper, we apply the Dirichlet Priors to...
Well tuned Large-Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) has been shown to generally be more effective than vocabulary-independent techniques for ranked retrieval of spo...
Term translation probabilities proved an effective method of semantic smoothing in the language modelling approach to information retrieval. We use Generalized Latent Semantic Ana...
