Information retrieval systems are frequently required to handle long queries. Simply using all terms in the query or relying on the underlying retrieval model to appropriately wei...
User feedback is widely deployed in recent multimedia research to refine retrieval performance. However, most of the existing online learning algorithms handle interactions of a s...
The ability to find tables and extract information from them is a necessary component of many information retrieval tasks. Documents often contain tables in order to communicate d...
Retrieving information from heterogeneous data sources in a flexible manner and within a single (database) framework is still a challenge. In this paper we present several extensi...
We consider two of the most commonly cited measures of retrieval performance: average precision and R-precision. It is well known that average precision and R-precision are highly...
