We have developed a word sense disambiguation algorithm, following Cheng and Wilensky (1997), to disambiguate among WordNet synsets. This algorithm is to be used in a cross-langua...
In this paper, we present two ways to improve the precision of HITS-based algorithms on Web documents. First, by analyzing the limitations of current HITS-based algorithms, we pro...
There has been a large amount of research on efficient document retrieval in both IR and web search areas. One important technique to improve retrieval efficiency is early termina...
This paper presents a probabilistic information retrieval framework in which the retrieval problem is formally treated as a statistical decision problem. In this framework, querie...
The application of nlp techniques to improve the results of information retrieval is still considered as a controversial issue, whereas nlp techniques in cross-language informatio...
