Positional language models for information retrieval
Although many variants of language models have been proposed for information retrieval, there are two related retrieval heuristics remaining “external” to the language modelin...

Fast query expansion using approximations of relevance models
Pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) improves search quality by expanding the query using terms from high-ranking documents from an initial retrieval. Although PRF can often result in ...

Parsimonious translation models for information retrieval
In the KL divergence framework, the extended language modeling approach has a critical problem estimating a query model, which is the probabilistic model that encodes user’s inf...
