Verbosity normalized pseudo-relevance feedback in information retrieval

作者:

Highlights:

• We examine document length normalization on the pseudo-relevance feedback setting.

• We assume verbosity effect on term weights and scope effect on term selection.

• We generalize the existing two-stage normalization for the pseudo-relevance feedback.

• We apply the generalized two-stage normalization to the latent concept expansion.

• The resulting model improves the latent concept expansion on standard TREC datasets.
