man word processing, etc. However, even well-formed queries hit exists in a file fragment in unallocated space for which the file signature is overwritten. Search hit ranking algorithms are prevalent in tradi-tional information retrieval (IR) contexts, such as web browsing and digital library

We study the problem of organizing the documents returned by an information retrieval system in response to a natural language query. We consider two well-known approaches -- the ranked list and clustering of the results -- and we show how they can be integrated. This new procedure is designed

In this paper we introduce a novel approach for query performance prediction based on ranking list scores dispersion. Starting from the premise that different score distributions appear for good and poor performance queries, we introduce a set of measures that capture these differences between both

in ranked lists that resolves these four issues. We demonstrate the implementation of this framework in a software application, termed DRIM (discovery of rank imbalanced motifs), which identifies sequence motifs in lists of ranked DNA sequences. We applied DRIM to ChIP–chip and CpG methylation data

for information systems and that the publication outlet is a more suitable indicator of quality. We present a ranking list of journals for the information systems discipline, and discuss the approach we have taken in developing the list. We discuss how the ranking list may be used in defining and measuring

Search Engine Results (SER) ranked lists show only a limited view of the information space, do not show how similar the retrieved documents are and/or how the retrieved documents relate to each other [1,2]. 2. Objective SER graphs could present at a glance an overview of any clusters or isolated

We introduce the notion of ranking robustness, which refers to a property of a ranked list of documents that indicates how stable the ranking is in the presence of uncertainty in the ranked documents. We propose a statistical measure called the robustness score to quantify this notion. Our initial

Abstract We study the problem of organizing the documents returned by an information retrieval system inresponse to a natural language query. We consider two well-known approaches- the ranked list and clustering of the results- and we show how they can be integrated. This new procedure is designed

Typically search engine results (SERs) are presented in a ranked list of decreasing estimated relevance to user queries. While familiar to users, ranked lists do not show inherent connections between SERs, e.g. whether SERs are hyperlinked or authored by the same source. Such potentially useful
