A Unified Framework for Post-Retrieval Query-Performance Prediction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The query-performance prediction task is estimating the effectiveness of a search performed in response to a query in lack of relevance judgments. Post-retrieval predictors analyze the result list of top-retrieved documents. While many of these previously proposed predictors are supposedly based on different principles, we show that they can actually be derived from a novel unified prediction framework that we propose. The framework is based on using a pseudo effective and/or ineffective ranking as reference comparisons to the ranking at hand, the quality of which we want to predict. Empirical exploration provides support to the underlying principles, and potential merits, of our framework.

You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me. Information retrieval performance prediction has been mostly addressed as a query performance issue, which refers to the performance of an information retrieval system in response to a specific query. It also relates to the appropriateness of a query as an expression of the user " s information needs. In general, perf...
متن کاملExploiting Multi-Modal Interactions: A Unified Framework
Given an imagebase with tagged images, four types of tasks can be executed, i.e., content-based image retrieval, image annotation, text-based image retrieval, and query expansion. For any of these tasks the similarity on the concerned type of objects is essential. In this paper, we propose a framework to tackle these four tasks from a unified view. The essence of the framework is to estimate si...
متن کاملUsing Document-Quality Measures to Predict Web-Search Effectiveness
The query-performance prediction task is estimating retrieval effectiveness in the absence of relevance judgments. The task becomes highly challenging over the Web due to, among other reasons, the effect of low quality (e.g., spam) documents on retrieval performance. To address this challenge, we present a novel prediction approach that utilizes queryindependent document-quality measures. While...

In this article, a unified framework for multimodal search and retrieval is introduced. The framework is an outcome of the research that took place within the I-SEARCH European Project. The proposed system covers all aspects of a search and retrieval process, namely low-level descriptor extraction, indexing, query formulation, retrieval and visualisation of the search results. All I-SEARCH comp...
