The research proposed here concentrates on the problem of designing and developing a spoken query retrieval (SQR) system to access large document databases via voice. The main cha...
Relevance Feedback has proven very effective for improving retrieval accuracy. A difficult yet important problem in all relevance feedback methods is how to optimally balance the...
In this paper, an optimal relevance algorithm is proposed, which adapts the response of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system to the user's information needs. In part...
We consider the problem of ranking refinement, i.e., to improve the accuracy of an existing ranking function with a small set of labeled instances. We are, particularly, intereste...
This paper experimentally studies approaches to the problem of ranking information resources w.r.t. user queries in peer-to-peer information retrieval. In distributed environments...
