In some information retrieval scenarios, for example internal help desk systems, texts are entered into the document collection without proofreading. This can result in a relative...
Peer-to-peer (p2p) systems offer an efficient means of data sharing among a dynamically changing set of a large number of autonomous nodes. Each node in a p2p system is connected...
Data compression has been claimed to be an attractive solution to save energy consumption in high-end servers and data centers. However, there has not been a study to explore this...
Abstract. Machine learning ranking methods are increasingly applied to ranking tasks in information retrieval (IR). However ranking tasks in IR often differ from standard ranking t...
Abstract. We implemented a baseline approach to why-question answering based on paragraph retrieval. Our implementation incorporates the QAP ranking algorithm with addition of a nu...
