In recent years, many algorithms for the Web have been developed that work with information units distinct from individual web pages. These include segments of web pages or aggreg...
In a new model for answer retrieval, document collections are distilled offline into large repositories of facts. Each fact constitutes a potential direct answer to questions seek...
A minimal perfect function maps a static set of keys on to the range of integers {0,1,2, ... , - 1}. We present a scalable high performance algorithm based on random graphs for ...

Methods for fusing document lists that were retrieved in response to a query often use retrieval scores (or ranks) of documents in the lists. We present a novel probabilistic fusi...
We introduce the Ranked Feature Fusion framework for information retrieval system design. Typical information retrieval formalisms such as the vector space model, the bestmatch mo...
