Abstract. Humans can associate vision and language modalities and thus generate mental imagery, i.e. visual images, from linguistic input in an environment of unlimited inflowing i...
Scientists depend on literature search to find prior work that is relevant to their research ideas. We introduce a retrieval model for literature search that incorporates a wide ...
A common limitation of many retrieval models, including the recently proposed axiomatic approaches, is that retrieval scores are solely based on exact (i.e., syntactic) matching o...
This paper studies the influence of lexical semantic knowledge upon two related tasks: ad-hoc information retrieval and text similarity. For this purpose, we compare the performa...
