Query reformulation techniques based on query logs have recently proven to be effective for web queries. However, when initial queries have reasonably good quality, these techniqu...
Numerous studies have examined the ability of query performance prediction methods to estimate a query’s quality for system effectiveness measures (such as average precision). ...

Abstract— We propose a novel hierarchical structured prediction approach for ranking images of faces based on attributes. We view ranking as a bipartite graph matching problem; l...
We describe a method for predicting query difficulty in a precision-oriented web search task. Our approach uses visual features from retrieved surrogate document representations (...
