In this paper, we address both standard and focused retrieval tasks based on comprehensible language models and interactive query expansion (IQE). Query topics are expanded using a...
In order to enable scalable querying of graph databases, intelligent selection of subgraphs to index is essential. An improved index can reduce response times for graph queries si...
We present an efficient algorithm called the Quadtree Heuristic for identifying a list of similar terms for each unique term in a large document collection. Term similarity is de...
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...
With the worldwide growth of the Internet, research on Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) is being paid much attention. Existing CLIR approaches based on query translatio...
