Improving query precision using semantic expansion

Query Expansion (QE) is one of the most important mechanisms in the information retrieval field. A typical short Internet query will go through a process of refinement to improve its retrieval power. Most of the existing QE techniques suffer from ...
Automatic Term Reweighting for Query Expansion
ADCS '17: Proceedings of the 22nd Australasian Document Computing Symposium

Query expansion is used to overcome the vocabulary mismatch between the documents and queries, but it can lead to query drift. We propose an automatic term reweighting strategy for BM25 ranking functions. Using expansion terms obtained from general ...
Automatic term mismatch diagnosis for selective query expansion
SIGIR '12: Proceedings of the 35th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval

People are seldom aware that their search queries frequently mismatch a majority of the relevant documents. This may not be a big problem for topics with a large and diverse set of relevant documents, but would largely increase the chance of search ...
