We describe the application of generative programming to a problem in interactive information retrieval. The particular interactive information retrieval problem we study is the su...
Information retrieval (IR) researchers commonly use three tests of statistical significance: the Student's paired t-test, the Wilcoxon signed rank test, and the sign test. Ot...
We present a new method for information retrieval using hidden Markov models HMMs and relate our experience with this system on the TREC-7 ad hoc task. We develop a general framew...
Due to the great variation of biological names in biomedical text, appropriate tokenization is an important preprocessing step for biomedical information retrieval. Despite its im...
Probabilistic Argumentation Systems (PAS) are a technique for representing uncertainty both symbolically and numerically. It is shown that this technique, which combines symbolic ...
