Information Retrieval as Card Playing
2015
Proceedings of the 38th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval - SIGIR '15
We propose a novel formal model for optimizing interactive information retrieval interfaces. ...
We show that such a formal interface card model can not only cover the Probability Ranking Principle for Interactive Information Retrieval as a special case by making multiple simplification assumptions ...
INTRODUCTION Developing formal models for information retrieval (IR) has always been an important fundamental challenge. ...

Mirlog: A Logic for Multimedia Information Retrieval
[chapter]
1998
Information Retrieval: Uncertainty and Logics
This chapter presents a logic for the retrieval of multimedia information, whose ultimate goal is to model retrieval as an uncertain logical inference, in accordance to the logic-based view of retrieval ...
The resulting logic is to be understood as a modelling retrieval tool, which can be used for the specification and the rapid prototyping of applications. * Partial funding provided by ESPRIT BRA Action ...
INTRODUCTION The development of retrieval models has been a major concern of the information retrieval community for the last two decades. ...

Theoretical evaluation of XML retrieval
2012
SIGIR Forum
XML retrieval can be seen as a special case of structured document retrieval for texts marked up in XML. ...
Next we analyse another model called contextualisation also specially designed for XML retrieval. ...
Further experimental performance issues for a model based on information overlap can also be seen by comparing the generalised quantisations in Tables 8.5 and 8.4 with the strict quantisations in Tables ...

Report on the third workshop on exploiting semantic annotations in information retrieval (ESAIR)
2011
SIGIR Forum
These meaningful, semantic, annotations hold the promise to significantly enhance information access, by enhancing the depth of analysis of today's systems. ...
Second, there is a framework emerging to view annotation as (1) a linking procedure, connecting (2) an analysis of information objects with (3) a semantic model of some sort, expressing relations that ...

An Axiomatically Derived Measure for the Evaluation of Classification Algorithms
2015
Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Theory of Information Retrieval - ICTIR '15
To this end, we adopt an axiomatic approach, i.e., we discuss a number of properties ("axioms") that an evaluation measure for classification should arguably satisfy. ...
We go on to discuss an alternative, simple evaluation measure for binary classification, that we call K, and show that it instead satisfies all the previously proposed axioms. ...
I am also indebted to one of the reviewers for spotting problems in previous formulations of Axioms 2 and 8. ...

Application of aboutness to functional benchmarking in information retrieval
2001
ACM Transactions on Information Systems
Experimental approaches are widely employed to benchmark the performance of an information retrieval (IR) system. Measurements in terms of recall and precision are computed as performance indicators. ...
In this article, we propose to use inductive evaluation for functional benchmarking of IR models as a complement of the traditional experiment-based performance benchmarking. ...
