Taking advantage of the well-known cluster hypothesis that “closely associated documents tend to be relevant to the same request”, we can use inter-document similarity to prov...
An under-explored question in cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) is to what degree the performance of CLIR methods depends on the availability of high-quality translation...
It is crucial to study basic principles that support adaptive and scalable retrieval functions in large networked environments such as the Web, where information is distributed am...
