Long queries frequently contain many extraneous terms that hinder retrieval of relevant documents. We present techniques to reduce long queries to more effective shorter ones tha...
Performance prediction has gained increasing attention in the IR field since the half of the past decade and has become an established research topic in the field. The present work...
Query performance predictors are commonly evaluated by reporting correlation coefficients to denote how well the methods perform at predicting the retrieval performance of a set of...
— Accurate query performance prediction (QPP) is central to effective resource management, query optimization and query scheduling. Analytical cost models, used in current genera...
Abstract. In this paper, we examine a number of newly applied methods for combining pre-retrieval query performance predictors in order to obtain a better prediction of the queryâ€...
