The prediction of query performance is an interesting and important issue in Information Retrieval (IR). Current predictors involve the use of relevance scores, which are time-con...
Common measures of term importance in information retrieval (IR) rely on counts of term frequency; rare terms receive higher weight in document ranking than common terms receive. ...
Using the same interactive IR component as for TREC 2006, this submission probed the ability of a user without requisite domain knowledge to interactively set appropriate weights....
Power Gating is effective for reducing leakage power. Previously, a Distributed Sleep Transistor Network (DSTN) was proposed to reduce the sleep transistor area by connecting all ...
This paper proposes a word sense language model based method for information retrieval. This method, differing from most of traditional ones, combines word senses defined in a thes...
