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...
In this report we describe our model of dynamic hypertext and how the ClickIR system uses this model to assist users in interactive search. The system was used in both the ad hoc ...
We propose a Bayesian extension to the ad-hoc Language Model. Many smoothed estimators used for the multinomial query model in ad-hoc Language Models (including Laplace and Bayes-...
