Information retrieval (IR) research has been very active over the last decades to develop approaches that allow machine indexing to significantly improve indexing practice in lib...
We analyse the kinematics of probabilistic term weights at retrieval time for di erent Information Retrieval models. We present four models based on di erent notions of probabilis...
Information retrieval which aims to provide people with easy access to all kinds of information is now becoming more and more emphasized. However, most approaches to information r...
A taxonomy-based source consists of a taxonomy and a database storing objects that are indexed in terms of the taxonomy. For this kind of sources, we describe a flexible interacti...
Similarity search is a key challenge for multimedia retrieval applications where data are usually represented in high-dimensional space. Among various algorithms proposed for simi...
