Term-specific smoothing for the language modeling approach to information retrieval: the importance of a query term
This paper follows a formal approach to information retrieval based on statistical language models. By introducing some simple reformulations of the basic language modeling approa...

Bayesian extension to the language model for ad hoc information retrieval
We propose a Bayesian extension to the ad-hoc Language Model. Many smoothed estimators used for the multinomial query model in ad-hoc Language Models (including Laplace and Bayes-...

Hierarchical pitman-yor language model for information retrieval
In this paper, we propose a new application of Bayesian language model based on Pitman-Yor process for information retrieval. This model is a generalization of the Dirichlet distr...

Dependence language model for information retrieval
This paper presents a new dependence language modeling approach to information retrieval. The approach extends the basic language modeling approach based on unigram by relaxing th...
