In this paper, we complement the term frequency, which is used in many bag-of-words based information retrieval models, with information about the semantic relatedness of query and...
In this paper, we report our approach to retrieve patent documents based on the prior art. We use the standard Information Retrieval (IR) techniques which contain indexing and retr...
We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...
Although the application of data fusion in information retrieval has yielded good results in the majority of the cases, it has been noticed that its achievement is dependent on the...
