Uses centroids to calculate the center of a set of documents. where sim(~q; Cr) is the similarity between a query q and the set of relevant documents Cr. Using cosine similarity the optimal …

Rocchio Algorithm is used and using modified query, relevant and non-relevant documents are calculated. Observations are seen twice using Gamma=0.15 and Gamma=0. …

This is a course on Information Retrieval and Web Search offered to the students of IISER Kolkata in 2022. ...more. The Rocchio'a algorithm is discussed mathematically with an …

§ We can iterate this: several rounds of relevance feedback. § We will use the term ad hoc retrieval to refer to regular retrievalwithoutrelevancefeedback. § We will now look at an …

Figure 9.2 shows a textual IR example where the user wishes to find out about new applications of space satellites. 9.1.1 The Rocchio algorithm for relevance feedback The Rocchio Algorithm …

The new query computed by Rocchio's algorithm using constants alpha=1, beta=.75, and gamma=.15 as suggested in Manning et. al. 183. Tests were performed with gamma=0, …

This was the relevance feedback mechanism introduced in and popularized by Salton's SMART system around 1970. In a real IR query context, we have a user query and partial knowledge …

Relevance Feedback in vector spaces We can modify the query based on relevance feedback and apply standard vector space model. Use only the docs that were marked. Relevance …

Rocchio’s algorithm operates on a vector space model. The theory: the optimal query vector maximizes similarity with the relevant documents while minimizing similarity with non-relevant …

Use Rocchio formula to compute new query vector (given some known relevant / non-relevant documents). Calculate cosine similarity between new query vector and documents. (E.g., …
