Selection power and selection labor for information retrieval
This paper is concerned with the relation between selection power and selection labor for information retrieval. It is the first part of the development of a labor theoretic approach to information retrieval. Existing models for evaluation of information retrieval systems are reviewed and the distinction of operational from experimental systems partly dissolved. The often covert, but powerful, ...
متن کاملPredicting Retrieval Quality for Resource Selection in Distributed Information Retrieval
In a federated digital library system, it is too expensive to query every accessible library. Resource selection is the task to decide to which libraries a query should be passed. Most existing resource selection algorithms compute a library ranking in a heuristic way. In this paper, we follow a different approach on a better theoretic foundation. The decision-theoretic approach tries to minimi...
متن کاملDynamic Selection of Information Retrieval Algorithms
Users often search in information retrieval systems iteratively. We claim that changing the underlying retrieval algorithm and query expansion algorithm during these iterations yields improved results. In the rst part of this paper, results of preliminary experiments are presented which indicate the viability of our claim. In the second part, we focus on our approach for the dynamic selection o...
متن کاملConcept-Based Feature Generation and Selection for Information Retrieval
Traditional information retrieval systems use query words to identify relevant documents. In difficult retrieval tasks, however, one needs access to a wealth of background knowledge. We present a method that uses Wikipedia-based feature generation to improve retrieval performance. Intuitively, we expect that using extensive world knowledge is likely to improve recall but may adversely affect pr...
متن کاملSelection and Merging Strategies for Multilingual Information Retrieval
In our fourth participation in the CLEF evaluation campaigns, our objective was to verify whether our combined query translation approach would work well with new requests and new languages (Russian and Portuguese in this case). As a second objective, we were to suggest a selection procedure able to extract a smaller number of documents from collections that seemed to contain no or only a few r...
