Abstract:

This talk discusses models for three types of modern IR applications which rely on calibrated values of the probability of relevance: 1) Resourc selection for aggregated search, 2) The optimum clustering framework providing the first theoretic foundation for document clustering, and 3) The interactive probability ranking principle characterizing interactive retrieval as a sequence of situations with choice lists.
