The inclusion of document length factors has been a major topic in the development of retrieval models. We believe that current models can be further improved by more refined est...
We introduce in this paper the family of information-based models for ad hoc information retrieval. These models draw their inspiration from a long-standing hypothesis in IR, name...
Current Information Retrieval systems use inverted index structures for efficient query processing. Due to the extremely large size of many data sets, these index structures are u...
Generative models such as statistical language modeling have been widely studied in the task of expert search to model the relationship between experts and their expertise indicat...
Focusing on the context of XML retrieval, in this paper we propose a general methodology for managing structured queries (involving both content and structure) within any given st...
