Topic models such as aspect model or LDA have been shown as a promising approach for text modeling. Unlike many previous models that restrict each document to a single topic, topi...
We propose a model that leverages the millions of clicks received by web search engines to predict document relevance. This allows the comparison of ranking functions when clicks ...
This paper proposes GBM (gravitation-based model), a physical model for information retrieval inspired by Newton’s theory of gravitation. A mapping is built in this model from c...
The area under an ROC curve (AUC) is a criterion used in many applications to measure the quality of a classification algorithm. However, the objective function optimized in most...
Queries on XML documents typically combine selections on element contents, and, via path expressions, the structural relationships between tagged elements. Efficient support for ...
