Snippet-Based Relevance Predictions for Federated Web Search
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Preserved Fulltext
How well can the relevance of a page be predicted, purely based on snippets? ...
A linear classifier is trained to predict the snippetbased user estimate of page relevance, but also, to predict the actual page relevance, again based on snippets alone. ...
This research was cofunded by iMinds (Interdisciplinary institute for Technology) in Flanders, and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, NWO, grants 639.022.809 and 640.005.002. ...
