An Effective Approach to Verbose Queries Using a Limited Dependencies Language Model
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Intuitively, any 'bag of words' approach in IR should benefit from taking term dependencies into account. Unfortunately, for years the results of exploiting such dependencies have been mixed or inconclusive. To improve the situation, this paper shows how the natural language properties of the target documents can be used to transform and enrich the term dependencies to more useful statistics. This is done in three steps. The term co-occurrence statistics of queries and documents are each
