  • Term Association Modelling in Information Retrieval
    TERM ASSOCIATION MODELLING IN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL JIASHU ZHAO A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH 2015 c Jiashu Zhao 2015 Abstract Many traditional Information Retrieval (IR) models assume that query terms are in- dependent of each other. For those models, a document is normally represented as a bag of words/terms and their frequencies. Although traditional retrieval models can achieve reasonably good performance in many applications, the corresponding inde- pendence assumption has limitations. There are some recent studies that investigate how to model term associations/dependencies by proximity measures. However, the modeling of term associations theoretically under the probabilistic retrieval frame- work is still largely unexplored. In this thesis, I propose a new concept named Cross Term, to model term prox- imity, with the aim of boosting retrieval performance. With Cross Terms, the asso- ciation of multiple query terms can be modeled in the same way as a simple unigram term. In particular, an occurrence of a query term is assumed to have an impact on its neighboring text. The degree of the query term impact gradually weakens with increasing distance from the place of occurrence. Shape functions are used to ii characterize such impacts. Based on this assumption, I first propose a bigram CRoss TErm Retrieval (CRT ER2) model for probabilistic IR and a Language model based LM model CRT ER2 . Specifically, a bigram Cross Term occurs when the correspond- ing query terms appear close to each other, and its impact can be modeled by the intersection of the respective shape functions of the query terms.

Shima Gerani Lugano, 13 September 2012 ii Abstract Recent years have seen the rapid growth of social media platforms that enable people to express their thoughts and perceptions on the web and share them with other users. Many people write their opinion about products, movies, peo- ple or events on blogs, forums or review sites. The so-called User Generated Content is a good source of users’ opinion and mining it can be very useful for a wide variety of applications that require understudying of public opinion about a concept. Blogs are one of the most popular and influential social media.
