This paper presents a new way of thinking for IR metric optimization. It is argued that the optimal ranking problem should be factorized into two distinct yet interrelated stages:...
We introduce in this paper the family of information-based models for ad hoc information retrieval. These models draw their inspiration from a long-standing hypothesis in IR, name...
We study information reconciliation (IR) scheme for the quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols. The IR for the QKD can be considered as the asymmetric Slepian-Wolf problem, which...
Recently direct optimization of information retrieval (IR) measures becomes a new trend in learning to rank. Several methods have been proposed and the effectiveness of them has ...
