ABSTRACT
Traditional bag-of-words information retrieval models use aggregated term statistics to measure the relevance of documents, making it difficult to detect non-relevant documents that contain many query terms by chance or in the wrong context. In-depth document analysis is needed to filter out these deceptive documents. In this paper, we hypothesize that truly relevant documents have relevant sentences in predictable patterns. Our experimental results show that we can successfully identify and exploit these patterns to significantly improve retrieval precision at top ranks.

A graph-based relevance feedback mechanism in content-based image retrieval
Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an important problem in the domain of digital data management. There is indeed a growing availability of images, but unfortunately the traditional metadata-based search systems are unable to properly exploit their ...
Sentence-based relevance flow analysis for high accuracy retrieval
Traditional ranking models for information retrieval lack the ability to make a clear distinction between relevant and nonrelevant documents at top ranks if both have similar bag-of-words representations with regard to a user query. We aim to go beyond ...
On using inter-document relations in microblog retrieval
WWW '13 Companion: Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on World Wide WebMicroblog Ad-hoc retrieval has received much attention in recent years. As a result of the high vocabulary diversity of the publishing users, a mismatch is formed between the queries being formulated and the tweets representing the actual topics. In ...
