Query substitution is an important problem in information retrieval. Much work focuses on how to find substitutes for any given query. In this paper, we study how to efficiently ...
We present an improvement to Harvey and Ginsberg's limited discrepancy search algorithm, which eliminates much of the redundancy in the original, by generating each path from...
Non-uniform query languages make searching over heterogeneous information sources difficult. Our approach is to allow a user to compose Boolean queries in one rich front-end lang...
Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) tasks are evaluated using a cost function. The standard TDT cost function assumes a constant probability of relevance P(rel) across all topics. ...
Relaxations based on (either complete or partial) ignoring delete effects of the actions provide the basis for some seminal classical planning heuristics. However, the palette of ...
