ABSTRACT
Term dependence is a natural consequence of language use. Its successful representation has been a long standing goal for Information Retrieval research. We present a methodology for the construction of a concept hierarchy that takes into account the three basic dimensions of term dependence. We also introduce a document evaluation function that allows the use of the concept hierarchy as a user profile for Information Filtering. Initial experimental results indicate that this is a promising approach for incorporating term dependence in the way documents are filtered.

Building Concept Network-Based User Profile for Personalized Web Search
ICIS '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE/ACIS 9th International Conference on Computer and Information ScienceThis paper presents a novel way of building the user profile of concept network for personalized search. The user profile is defined as a concept network, in which each concept is approximately represented with the formal concept analysis (FCA) theory. ...
Improved latent concept expansion using hierarchical markov random fields
CIKM '10: Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge managementMost existing query expansion approaches for ad-hoc retrieval adopt overly simplistic textual representations that treat documents as bags of words and ignore inherent document structure. These simple representations often lead to incorrect independence ...
Query structuring and expansion with two-stage term dependence for Japanese web retrieval
AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new term dependence model for information retrieval, which is based on a theoretical framework using Markov random fields. We assume two types of dependencies of terms given in a query: (i) long-range dependencies that ...
