Pseudo-relevance feedback has proven to be an effective strategy for improving retrieval accuracy in all retrieval models. However the performance of existing pseudo feedback meth...
The probability that a term appears in relevant documents ( ) is a fundamental quantity in several probabilistic retrieval models, however it is difficult to estimate without rele...
Abstract. The Bayesian approach to machine learning amounts to inferring posterior distributions of random variables from a probabilistic model of how the variables are related (th...
Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a fully generative approach to language modelling which overcomes the inconsistent generative semantics of Probabilistic Latent Semantic Index...
The Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition communities are facing two challenges: solving the normalization problem, and solving the deep learning problem. The normalization pro...
