Users issue queries to Search Engines, and try to find the desired information in the results produced. They repeat this process if their information need is not met at the first place. It is crucial to identify the important words in a…
Understanding the similar properties of people involved in group search sessions has the potential to significantly improve collaborative search systems; such systems could be enhanced by information retrieval algorithms and user interface…
Identifying the salience (i.e. importance) of discourse units is an important task in language understanding. While events play important roles in text documents, little research exists on analyzing their saliency status. This paper…
Query optimization has been studied using machine learning, reinforcement learning, and, more recently, graph-based convolutional networks. Ontology, as a structured, information-rich knowledge representation, can provide context,…
Automatic query reformulation refers to rewriting a user's original query in order to improve the ranking of retrieval results compared to the original query. We present a general framework for automatic query reformulation based on…
In this paper we address the explainability of web search engines. We propose two explainable elements on the search engine result page: a visualization of query term weights and a visualization of passage relevance. The idea is that search…
Traditional event detection classifies a word or a phrase in a given sentence for a set of predefined event types. The limitation of such predefined set is that it prevents the adaptation of the event detection models to new event types. We…
Computer experiments with quantitative and qualitative inputs are widely used to study many scientific and engineering processes. Much of the existing work has focused on design and modeling or process optimization for such experiments.…
We present sensitivity analysis for results of query executions in a relational model of data extended by ordinal ranks. The underlying model of data results from the ordinary Codd's model of data in which we consider ordinal ranks of…
The short text matching task employs a model to determine whether two short texts have the same semantic meaning or intent. Existing short text matching models usually rely on the content of short texts which are lack information or missing…
This paper presents an approach to enhance search engines with information about word senses available in WordNet. The approach exploits information about the conceptual relations within the lexical-semantic net. In the wrapper for search…
Web is title admittance today mainly relies on search engines. A large amount of data is hidden in the databases behind the search interfaces referred to as Hidden web, which needs to be indexed so in order to serve user query. In this…
Previous work on sensitivity analysis in Bayesian networks has focused on single parameters, where the goal is to understand the sensitivity of queries to single parameter changes, and to identify single parameter changes that would enforce…
The evaluation of web pages against a query is the pivot around which the Information Retrieval domain revolves around. The context sensitive, semantic evaluation of web pages is a non-trivial problem which needs to be addressed…
Traditional information retrieval systems represent documents and queries by keyword sets. However, the content of a document or a query is mainly defined by both keywords and named entities occurring in it. Named entities have ontological…
Nowadays, web search becomes more and more popular all over the world. Many researchers and developers have done lots of studies on behaviors of search users. In practice, the full understanding of these behaviors can not only help to…
We consider strategies to organize easily updatable associative arrays in external memory. These arrays are used for full-text search. We study indexes with different keys: single word form, two word forms, and sequences of word forms. The…
Transformer-based pre-trained models have achieved great improvements in semantic matching. However, existing models still suffer from insufficient ability to capture subtle differences. The modification, addition and deletion of words in…
In this paper, we initiate the study of the multiplicative bidding language adopted by major Internet search companies. In multiplicative bidding, the effective bid on a particular search auction is the product of a base bid and bid…
We revisit the classical algorithms for searching over sorted sets to introduce an algorithm refinement, called Adaptive Search, that combines the good features of Interpolation search and those of Binary search. W.r.t. Interpolation…
