Query-performance prediction and cluster ranking
2012
Proceedings of the 21st ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '12
We show that two tasks which were independently addressed in the information retrieval literature actually amount to the exact same task. The first is query-performance prediction; i.e., estimating the effectiveness of a search performed in response to a query in the absence of relevance judgments.
