Abstract

In traditional information retrieval, relevance is often judged by comparing the similarity of text in a query to the text of a document returned, reflecting a context-independent relevance relation. But mobile search calls for an expanded approach to assessing similarity and relevance---an approach that is highly attuned to the context-dependent factors that occur when people leave their desks and begin requesting information from different environments and perspectives.

Concept-Based Relevance Models for Medical and Semantic Information Retrieval
CIKM '15: Proceedings of the 24th ACM International on Conference on Information and Knowledge Management

Relevance models provide an important approach for estimating probabilities of words in the relevant class. However, the associated bag-of-words assumption breaks dependencies between words, especially between those within a phrase. If such dependencies ...
