A key component of BM25 contributing to its success is its sub-linear term frequency (TF) normalization formula. The scale and shape of this TF normalization component is controll...
Abstract. As retrieval systems become more complex, learning to rank approaches are being developed to automatically tune their parameters. Using online learning to rank approaches...
Effective texture feature is an essential component in any content based image retrieval system. In the past, spectral features, like Gabor and wavelet, have shown superior retrie...
Query expansion is an effective technique in improving the retrieval performance for ad-hoc retrieval. However, query expansion can also fail, leading to a degradation of the retri...

A statistical correlation model for image retrieval is proposed. This model captures the semantic relationships among images in a database from simple statistics of userprovided r...
It is commonly believed that word segmentation accuracy is monotonically related to retrieval performance in Chinese information retrieval. In this paper we show that, for Chinese...

The retrieval performance of an information retrieval system usually increases when it uses the relationships among the terms contained in a given document collection. However, th...
Information retrieval which aims to provide people with easy access to all kinds of information is now becoming more and more emphasized. However, most approaches to information r...
Our Genomics experiments in this year mainly focus on improving the passage retrieval performance in the biomedical domain. We address this problem by constructing different inde...
