Modeling the beyond-topical aspects of relevance are currently gaining popularity in IR evaluation. For example, the discounted cumulated gain (DCG) measure implicitly models some...
This paper reviews the recent developments in applying geometric and quantum mechanics methods for information retrieval and natural language processing. It discusses the interest...
This paper is concerned with the generalization ability of learning to rank algorithms for information retrieval (IR). We point out that the key for addressing the learning proble...

— When an iterative-decoding aided system is configured to operate at a near-capacity performance, an excessive complexity may be imposed by the iterative process. In this paper...
This paper presents a Flexible Question Answering System (FQAS) for mobile wireless devices. FQAS comprises a fuzzy logic-based Information Retrieval (IR) System together with a q...
