We propose a formal model of Cross-Language Information Retrieval that does not rely on either query translation or document translation. Our approach leverages recent advances in...
Many of the recent, and more effective, retrieval models have incorporated dependencies between the terms in the query. In this paper, we advance this query representation one st...
Search algorithms incorporating some form of topic model have a long history in information retrieval. For example, cluster-based retrieval has been studied since the 60s and has ...
We demonstrate that regularization can improve feedback in a language modeling framework. Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.3.3 Information Search and Retrieval: Relevance Fee...
This paper introduces a general framework for the use of translation probabilities in cross-language information retrieval based on the notion that information retrieval fundament...
