In standard text retrieval systems, the documents are gathered and indexed on a single server. In distributed information retrieval (DIR), the documents are held in multiple colle...
We present several new examples of speed-ups obtainable by quantum algorithms in the context of property testing. First, motivated by sampling algorithms, we consider probability d...

The lack of a large scale Chinese test collection is an obstacle to the Chinese information retrieval development. In order to address this issue, we built such a collection compos...
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...
This paper describes a distribution fitting exercise that has been used in an undergraduate introductory simulation class. The intent is for students to collect data describing a ...
