Although many variants of language models have been proposed for information retrieval, there are two related retrieval heuristics remaining “external” to the language modelin...
In most IR clustering problems, we directly cluster the documents, working in the document space, using cosine similarity between documents as the similarity measure. In many real...
The optimal settings of retrieval parameters often depend on both the document collection and the query, and are usually found through empirical tuning. In this paper, we propose ...
It has been widely observed that search queries are composed in a very different style from that of the body or the title of a document. Many techniques explicitly accounting for...
The most intuitive memory model for shared-memory multithreaded programming is sequential consistency (SC), but it disallows the use of many compiler and hardware optimizations th...
