We develop a method for predicting query performance by computing the relative entropy between a query language model and the corresponding collection language model. The resultin...
If applications were able to detect a user's expertise, then software could automatically adapt to better match expertise. Detecting expertise is difficult because a user...
Abstract. A challenging software engineering problem is the design and implementation of component-based (CB) applications that can meet specified performance requirements. Our PPC...
