Fusing Lists Retrieved from Multiple Information Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem in which we must fuse individual lists of retrieved documents o obtain a single ordered list of recommended documents from multiple information sources. A parameterized procedure is presented. A formulation of the multiple list fusion problem in terms of mathematical programming is also presented.

From "Identical" to "Similar": Fusing Retrieved Lists Based on Inter-document Similarities
We present a novel approach to fusing document lists that are retrieved in response to a query. Our approach is based on utilizing information induced from inter-document similarities. Specifically, the key insight guiding the derivation of our methods is that similar documents from different lists can provide relevance-status support to each other. We use a graph-based method to model relevanc...
متن کاملInformation Brokers: Gathering Information from Heterogeneous Information Sources
The Internet provides dramatic new opportunities for gathering information from multiple, distributed, heterogeneous information sources. However, this distributed environment poses difficult technical problems for the information-seeking client, including finding the information sources relevant to an interest, formulating questions in the terms that the sources understand, interpreting the re...
متن کاملFusion of Similarity Data in Clustering
Fusing multiple information sources can yield significant benefits to successfully accomplish learning tasks. Many studies have focussed on fusing information in supervised learning contexts. We present an approach to utilize multiple information sources in the form of similarity data for unsupervised learning. Based on similarity information, the clustering task is phrased as a non-negative ma...
متن کاملMultimodal medical image fusion based on Yager’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets
The objective of image fusion for medical images is to combine multiple images obtained from various sources into a single image suitable for better diagnosis. Most of the state-of-the-art image fusing technique is based on nonfuzzy sets, and the fused image so obtained lags with complementary information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) are determined to be more suitable for civilian, and medi...
متن کاملSubmodular Reranking with Multiple Feature Modalities for Image Retrieval
We propose a submodular reranking algorithm to boost image retrieval performance based on multiple ranked lists obtained from multiple modalities in an unsupervised manner. We formulate the reranking problem as maximizing a submodular and non-decreasing objective function that consists of an information gain term and a relative ranking consistency term. The information gain term exploits relati...
