What can quantum theory bring to information retrieval
The probabilistic formalism of quantum physics is said to provide a sound basis for building a principled information retrieval framework. Such a framework can be based on the not...

A Novel Re-ranking Approach Inspired by Quantum Measurement
Abstract. Quantum theory (QT) has recently been employed to advance the theory of information retrieval (IR). A typical method, namely the Quantum Probability Ranking Principle (QP...

Developing the Quantum Probability Ranking Principle
In this work, we summarise the development of a ranking principle based on quantum probability theory, called the Quantum Probability Ranking Principle (QPRP), and we also provide...
