Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a method for the graphical representation and similarity measurement of relevance judgments on the web. In order to address this objective a Latent Semantic Indexing technique was used. The findings suggest that the proposed method could help researchers in information seeking and retrieval to make methodological decisions about their data, such as the selection of specific subsets of relevance judgments for further examination, the recording of dissimilarities between judgments, or, the identification of possible cognitive shifts and abnormalities in relevance judgment behavior during web searching.

In visual information retrieval, a semantic gap exists due to the poor match between machine-understood content of an information object and the userpercepted one. The mismatch of perception results in di.culties for a user in formulating the query, and ...
Query polyrepresentation for ranking retrieval systems without relevance judgments

Ranking information retrieval (IR) systems with respect to their effectiveness is a crucial operation during IR evaluation, as well as during data fusion. This article offers a novel method of approaching the system-ranking problem, based on the widely ...
Ego-similarity measurement for relevance feedback

Relevance Feedback in Content-Based Image Retrieval is an active field of research. Many mechanisms of Relevance Feedback exist with many interactive techniques and implement criteria. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach of RF which can set ...
