Abstract

We explore the relationship between time and relevance using TREC ad-hoc queries. A type of query is identified that favors very recent documents. We propose a time-based language model approach to retrieval for these queries. We show how time can be incorporated into both query-likelihood models and relevance models. We carried out experiments to compare time-based language models to heuristic techniques for incorporating document recency in the ranking. Our results show that time-based models perform as well as or better than the best of the heuristic techniques.
