A comparison of classifiers and document representations for the routing problem
TL;DR: This paper compares learning techniques based on statistical classification to traditional methods of relevance feedback for the document routing problem and indicates that features based on latent semantic indexing are more effective for techniques such as linear discriminant analysis and logistic regression, which have no way to protect against overfitting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stemming algorithms: a case study for detailed evaluation
TL;DR: A case study of stemming algorithms is described which describes a number of novel approaches to evaluation and demonstrates their value.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Querying across languages: a dictionary-based approach to multilingual information retrieval
TL;DR: This paper found that correct identification and translation of multi-word terminology is the single most important source of error in the system, although amblguit y in translation also contributes to poor performance.
Proceedings Article
The TREC-9 Filtering Track Final Report.
Stephen Robertson,David A. Hull +1 more
TL;DR: This report describes the TREC–9 filtering track, presents some evaluation results, and provides a general commentary on lessons learned from this year's track.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Method combination for document filtering
TL;DR: It is found that simple averaging strategies do indeed improve performance, but that direet averaging of probability estimates is not the correet approach, and the probabiJit y estimates must be renormalized using logistic regression on the known relevance judgments.
