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...
During the last years a great number of Query Performance Prediction methods have been proposed. However, this explosion of prediction method proposals have not been paralleled by ...
We present a novel interpretation of Clarity [5], a widely used query performance predictor. While Clarity is commonly described as a measure of the “distance” between the lan...
