The classical probabilistic models attempt to capture the Ad hoc information retrieval problem within a rigorous probabilistic framework. It has long been recognized that the prim...
Dictionary-based approaches to query translation have been widely used in Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) experiments. Using these approaches, translation has been not...
How to assign appropriate weights to terms is one of the critical issues in information retrieval. Many term weighting schemes are unsupervised. They are either based on the empir...
