Improving Relevance Feedback with Unbiased Estimate of User's Information Need
نویسنده
چکیده
Relevance feedback is an effective and widely accepted method in information retrieval to improve performance. Relevance feedback generally uses an adaptive learning method to estimate the users information need. In this research, we propose an alternative two-stage sampling method to obtain an unbiased estimate of the users information need. Our estimate shows not only improved retrieval performance, but also better prevention of query drift, which troubles traditional relevance feedback. We also give theoretical justification and empirical support for this method.

Query expansion based on relevance feedback and latent semantic analysis
Web search engines are one of the most popular tools on the Internet which are widely-used by expert and novice users. Constructing an adequate query which represents the best specification of users’ information need to the search engine is an important concern of web users. Query expansion is a way to reduce this concern and increase user satisfaction. In this paper, a new method of query expa...

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has received considerable research interest in the recent years. The basic problem in CBIR is the semantic gap between the high-level image semantics and the low-level image features. Region-based image retrieval and learning from user interaction through relevance feedback are two main approaches to solving this problem. Recently, the research in integra...
متن کاملPicHunter : Bayesian Relevance Feedback for Image
This paper 1 describes PicHunter, an image retrieval system that implements a novel approach to relevance feedback, such that the entire history of user selections contributes to the system's estimate of the user's goal image. To accomplish this, PicHunter uses Bayesian learning based on a probabilistic model of a user's behavior. The predictions of this model are combined with the selections m...
