Users enter queries that are short as well as long. The aim of this work is to evaluate techniques that can enable information retrieval (IR) systems to automatically adapt to per...
The selection of appropriate proximity measures is one of the crucial success factors of content-based visual information retrieval. In this area of research, proximity measures ar...
This article describes an algorithm called HyperLex that is capable of automatically determining word uses in a textbase without recourse to a dictionary. The algorithm makes use ...
We here expand on a previous paper concerning the role of logic in information retrieval (IR) modelling. In that paper, among other things, we had pointed out how different ways of...
Abstract We present a new ranking algorithm that combines the strengths of two previous methods: boosted tree classification, and LambdaRank, which has been shown to be empiricall...
