We introduce the Ranked Feature Fusion framework for information retrieval system design. Typical information retrieval formalisms such as the vector space model, the bestmatch mo...
We compare different strategies to apply statistical machine translation techniques in order to retrieve documents which are a plausible translation of a given source document. Fi...
