Users’ past search behaviour provides a rich context that an information retrieval system can use to tailor its search results to suit an individual’s or a community’s infor...
In this paper, we present two novel memetic algorithms (MAs) for gene selection. Both are synergies of Genetic Algorithm (wrapper methods) and local search methods (filter methods...
Accurate estimation of information retrieval evaluation metrics such as average precision require large sets of relevance judgments. Building sets large enough for evaluation of r...
Top-k queries based on ranking elements of multidimensional datasets are a fundamental building block for many kinds of information discovery. The best known general-purpose algor...
It is observed that there is an important query requirement missing for search engines. With the wide variation of domain knowledge and user's interest, a user would like to ...
