Term necessity prediction
The probability that a term appears in relevant documents ( ) is a fundamental quantity in several probabilistic retrieval models, however it is difficult to estimate without rele...

Exploiting the Similarity of Non-Matching Terms at Retrieval Time
In classic InformationRetrieval systems a relevant document will not be retrieved in response to a query if the document and query representations do not share at least one term. T...

A general matrix framework for modelling Information Retrieval
Content-oriented retrieval models are based on a document-term matrix, whereas link-oriented retrieval models are based on an adjacent (parentchild) matrix. Term frequency and inv...
