Promoting Divergent Terms in the Estimation of Relevance Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditionally the use of pseudo relevance feedback (PRF) techniques for query expansion has been demonstrated very effective. Particularly the use of Relevance Models (RM) in the context of the Language Modelling framework has been established as a high-performance approach to beat. In this paper we present an alternative estimation for the RM promoting terms that being present in the relevance set are also distant from the language model of the collection. We compared this approach with RM3 and with an adaptation to the Language Modelling framework of the Rocchio’s KLD-based term ranking function. The evaluation showed that this alternative estimation of RM reports consistently better results than RM3, showing in average to be the most stable across collections in terms of robustness.

The uniaxial compressive strength of weak rocks (UCSWR) is among the essential parameters involved for the design of underground excavations, surface and underground mines, foundations in/on rock masses, and oil wells as an input factor of some analytical and empirical methods such as RMR and RMI. The direct standard approaches are difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, especially with highl...
متن کاملA comparison of algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation of Spatial GLM models
In spatial generalized linear mixed models, spatial correlation is assumed by adding normal latent variables to the model. In these models because of the non-Gaussian spatial response and the presence of latent variables the likelihood function cannot usually be given in a closed form, thus the maximum likelihood approach is very challenging. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce two n...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Allometric Models in Estimation of Poplar (Populus deltoides) Height
One of the most important issues in forest biometrics is the use of allometric functions to estimate the tree height by using diameter-height models. Measuring the total height of trees is usually a complex and time-consuming process. In allometric functions, the diameter is measured directly but the height of the tree is an estimate of an allometric model, which will be more accurate if the cr...
