Ranking in scientific publication databases involves a variety of additional resources that are usually not applied in standard general purpose search engines. Moreover, community-specific expectations of users influence the perception of the adequacy of r ...
In this paper, we present a query-driven indexing/retrieval strategy for efficient full text retrieval from large document collections distributed within a structured P2P network. Our indexing strategy is based on two important properties: (1) the generate ...
Tasks that rely on semantic content of documents, notably Information Retrieval and Document Classification, can benefit from a good account of document context, i.e. the semantic association between documents. To this effect, the scheme of latent semantic ...
Retrieving information from archived meetings is a new domain of information retrieval that has received increasing attention in the past few years. Search in spontaneous spoken conversations has been recognized as more difficult than text-based document r ...
The PLSI model (“Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing”) offers a document indexing scheme based on probabilistic latent category models. It entailed applications in diverse fields, notably in information retrieval (IR). Nevertheless, PLSI cannot process d ...
In this thesis, we explore the use of machine learning techniques for information retrieval. More specifically, we focus on ad-hoc retrieval, which is concerned with searching large corpora to identify the documents relevant to user queries. This identific ...
With the rapid expansion in the use of computers for producing digitalized textual documents, the need of automatic systems for organizing and retrieving the information contained in large databases has become essential. In general, information retrieval s ...
The Probalistic Latent Semantic Indexing model, introduced by T. Hofmann (1999), has engendered applications in numerous fields, notably document classification and information retrieval. In this context, the Fisher kernel was found to be an appropriate do ...
