Relevance-based language models operate by estimating the probabilities of observing words in documents relevant (or pseudo relevant) to a topic. However, these models assume that ...
Users of topic modeling methods often have knowledge about the composition of words that should have high or low probability in various topics. We incorporate such domain knowledg...
The classical probabilistic models attempt to capture the Ad hoc information retrieval problem within a rigorous probabilistic framework. It has long been recognized that the prim...
Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a fully generative approach to language modelling which overcomes the inconsistent generative semantics of Probabilistic Latent Semantic Index...
Language model (LM) adaptation is often achieved by combining a generic LM with a topic-specific model that is more relevant to the target document. Unlike previous work on unsup...
