In this paper we explore the use of parsimonious language models for web retrieval. These models are smaller thus more efficient than the standard language models and are therefor...
In this paper, a language model adapted to graph-based representation of image content is proposed and assessed. The full indexing and retrieval processes are evaluated on two diï...
We present two simple but effective smoothing techniqes for the standard language model (LM) approach to information retrieval [12]. First, we extend the unigram Dirichlet smoothi...
