The Collection Fusion Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the feasibility of merging the results of retrieval runs on separate, autonomous document collections into an eeective combined result. In particular, we examine two collection fusion techniques that use the results of past queries to compute the number of documents to retrieve from each of a set of subcollections such that the total number of retrieved documents is equal to N, the number of documents to be returned to the user. The fusion techniques are independent of the particular weighting schemes, similarity measures, and retrieval models used by the component collections. Our oocial TREC-3 runs are fusion runs in which N = 1000; other runs investigate the eeects of varying N. These results show that the precision averaged over the 50 queries is within 10% of the precision of an eeective single collection run for a wide range of values of N.

Learning Collection FUsion Strategies for Information Retrieval
In this paper we describe an Information Retrieval problem called collection fusion. The collection fusion problem is to maximize the number of relevant natural language documents retrieved given: a natural language query, multiple collections of documents, and a fixed total number of documents to retrieve. We describe two algorithms that use past queries to learn collection fusion strategies. ...

متن کاملThe Hypergeometric Coupon Collection Problem and its Dual
Suppose an urn contains M balls, of different types, which are removed from the urn in a uniform random manner. In the hypergeometric coupon collection problem, we are interested in the set of balls that have been removed at the moment when at least one ball of each type has been removed. In its dual, we are interested in the set of removed balls at the first moment that this set contains all o...
