Passage feature has been proved very useful in document retrieval. In this paper, we successfully incorporate the passage feature into language model framework by extending the Jelinek-Mercer smoothing. This scheme not only increases the precision of document language model but also can let the passage feature act well in the documents that are not very long. We compare our schemes with 4 baselines: the unigram language model and the passage language model with Jelinek-Mercer and Dirichlet smoothing. Experimental results on the TREC collections indicate that our method significantly outperforms the unigram language model and gets better performance than passage language model in collections whose documents are not very long.
