This paper is a personal take on the history of evaluation experiments in information retrieval. It describes some of the early experiments that were formative in our understandin...
As XML documents contain both content and structure information, taking advantage of the document structure in the retrieval process can lead to better identify relevant informati...

The classical Probability Ranking Principle (PRP) forms the theoretical basis for probabilistic Information Retrieval (IR) models, which are dominating IR theory since about 20 ye...
Users enter queries that are short as well as long. The aim of this work is to evaluate techniques that can enable information retrieval (IR) systems to automatically adapt to per...
This paper examines the estimation of global term weights (such as IDF) in information retrieval scenarios where a global view on the collection is not available. In particular, t...
Forty-eight years ago Maron and Kuhns published their paper, ``On Relevance, Probabilistic Indexing and Information Retrieval" (1960). This was the first paper to present a p...
This paper presents an algebraic formalism for reasoning on finite increasing sequences over Boolean algebras in general and on generalizations of Rough Set concepts in particular...
An ontology is a formal conceptualization of a domain, specifying the concepts of the domain and the relations between them. It is however not a straight forward task to use this ...
The purpose of this paper is to apply and evaluate the bibliometric method Bradfordizing for information retrieval (IR) experiments. Bradfordizing is used for generating core docu...
