An Artificial Intelligence Approach To Information Retrieval

Document structure weighting is a technique whereby different parts of a document (title, abstract, etc.) contribute unevenly to the overall document weight during ranking. Near optimal weights can be learned with a GA. Doing so shows a statistically significant 5% relative improvement in MAP for vector space inner product and Croft’s probabilistic ranking, but no improvement for BM25. Two appl...
