Model-based Feedback in the Language Modeling Approach to Information Retrieval
The language modeling approach to retrieval has been shown to perform well empirically. One advantage of this new approach is its statistical foundations. However, feedback, as on...

An analysis on document length retrieval trends in language modeling smoothing
Abstract. Document length is widely recognized as an important factor for adjusting retrieval systems. Many models tend to favor the retrieval of either short or long documents and...

Lightening the load of document smoothing for better language modeling retrieval
We hypothesized that language modeling retrieval would improve if we reduced the need for document smoothing to provide an inverse document frequency (IDF) like effect. We create...

"They Are Out There, If You Know Where to Look": Mining Transliterations of OOV Query Terms for Cross-Language Information Retri
It is well known that the use of a good Machine Transliteration system improves the retrieval performance of Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) systems when the query and ...

Semantic term matching in axiomatic approaches to information retrieval
A common limitation of many retrieval models, including the recently proposed axiomatic approaches, is that retrieval scores are solely based on exact (i.e., syntactic) matching o...
