A Context Quality Model to Support Transparent Reasoning with Uncertain Context
Much research on context quality in context-aware systems divides into two strands: (1) the qualitative identication of quality measures and (2) the use of uncertain reasoning tec...

Extending Weighting Models with a Term Quality Measure
Abstract. Weighting models use lexical statistics, such as term frequencies, to derive term weights, which are used to estimate the relevance of a document to a query. Apart from t...

Lightening the load of document smoothing for better language modeling retrieval
We hypothesized that language modeling retrieval would improve if we reduced the need for document smoothing to provide an inverse document frequency (IDF) like effect. We create...
