“…For documents, a Fisher kernel measures how much two members of a collection are similar taking into account a whole corpus as background information. We show that the Fisher kernel based on the DCM has a mathematical form related to the well-known TF-IDF representation for documents [1]. This demonstration is a new approach towards explaining why the TF-IDF heuristic is justified and why it is so successful experimentally.…”

Abstract. The Dirichlet compound multinomial (DCM) distribution has recently been shown to be a good model for documents because it captures the phenomenon of word burstiness, unlike standard models such as the multinomial distribution. This paper investigates the DCM Fisher kernel, a function for comparing documents derived from the DCM. We show that the DCM Fisher kernel has components that are similar to the term frequency (TF) and inverse document frequency (IDF) factors of the standard TF-IDF method for representing documents. Experiments show that the DCM Fisher kernel performs better than alternative kernels for nearest-neighbor document classification, but that the TF-IDF representation still performs best.

“…In order to select the links in a graph that are most relevant based on the given start and destination nodes, we utilize an adapted variant of the TF/IDF [1] measure: PF/IRF. The PF/IRF measure reflects the importance of a predicate with respect to a resource in a dataset and is defined as follows:…”
