A query term re-weighting approach using document similarity

作者：

Highlights：

• A query term re-weighting method to reformulate textual queries is proposed.

• Our approach is a local query modification method.

• We use the information carried by the top documents in relation to each other.

• Query term re-weighting can applied to short queries too.

• Queries which use a general vocabulary set show the least improvement.
