Modeling score distributions for combining the outputs of search engines
2001
Proceedings of the 24th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '01
Preserved Fulltext
Experiments show that this model fits TREC-3 and TREC-4 data for not only probabilistic search engines like INQUERY but also vector space search engines like SMART for English. ...
We have also used this model to fit the output of other search engines like LSI search engines and search engines indexing other languages like Chinese. ...
The first author would like to thank Bruce Croft for extensive discussions and also for pointing out relevant literature especially previous literature on score modeling in information retrieval. ...

These different formulations were grouped, and the groups, and combinations of them, were used as searches against the TREC test collection, using the INQUERY probabilistic inference network retrieval ...
The issue of recall as a performance measure in large databases was raised, since overlap between the searches conducted in this study, and the TREC-1 searches, was smaller than expected. ...
To do this, we compare it to the performance of the current best version of the INQUERY indexinglrepresentation routines and retrieval techniques, which have been optimized for the TREC collection. ...

Two probabilistic approaches to cross-lingual retrieval are in wide use today, those based on probabilistic models of relevance, as exemplified by INQUERY, and those based on language modeling. ...
INQUERY, as a query net model, allows the easy incorporation of query operators, including a synonym operator, which has proven to be extremely useful in cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), in ...
Title and description fields from two query sets were used -twenty-five queries from TREC 2001, and fifty queries from TREC 2002. ...
