We describe a methodology for evaluating the statistical performance of information distillation systems and apply it to a simple illustrative example. (An information distiller p...
We present a novel approach to query reformulation which combines syntactic and semantic information by means of generalized Levenshtein distance algorithms where the substitution...

In this paper we describe a problem of discovering query clusters from a click-through graph of web search logs. The graph consists of a set of web search queries, a set of pages ...
Information distillation techniques are used to analyze and interpret large volumes of speech and text archives in multiple languages and produce structured information of interes...
Relevance feedback has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for improving retrieval accuracy. The existing relevance feedback algorithms based on language models and vect...
