Abstract— Some of the established approaches to evaluating text clustering algorithms for information retrieval show theoretical flaws. In this paper, we analyze these flaws an...
Past research has identified many different types of relevance in information retrieval (IR). So far, however, most evaluation of IR systems has been through batch experiments cond...
Searching is inherently an interactive process usually requiring numerous iterations of querying and assessing in order to find the desired amount of relevant information. Essent...
Search algorithms incorporating some form of topic model have a long history in information retrieval. For example, cluster-based retrieval has been studied since the 60s and has ...
This paper describes the development of a structured document collection containing user-generated text and numerical metadata for exploring the exploitation of metadata in inform...
