Dependence language model for information retrieval

Abstract: This paper presents a new dependence language modeling approach to information retrieval. The approach extends the basic language modeling approach based on unigram by relaxing the independence assumption. We integrate the linkage of a query as a hidden variable, which expresses the term dependencies within the query as an acyclic, planar, undirected graph. We then assume that a query is generated from a document in two stages: the linkage is generated first, and then each term is generated in turn depending o… Show more

“…Despite their many implementations, retrieval experiments with phrases have shown inconsistent results. Recently, a number of retrieval approaches have investigated the effectiveness of language modeling approach in modeling statistical phrases such as n-grams or proximity-based phrases, showing promising results [18], [19].…”

“…Several attempts have been made to define IR models capable of capturing term dependencies. Gao et al [4] proposed a dependency model in which term dependency is captured by a biterm model. The final model combines the unigram model and the biterm model.…”

“…However, the relationship between them is simply determined by the scale of the overlap, which does not necessarily reflect the true strength of relationship. In general IR, several models have also been proposed to capture dependencies between terms [4,8,9]. Usually, a dependence model is defined in addition to the traditional bag-of-words or word unigram model.…”

“…Dependency parsing is used to analyze syntactic structures as dependency relations among words in a sentence. POS tagging and dependency parsing are widely used in text-based technology, including information extraction [1], machine translation [2], opinion mining [3], information retrieval [4], and so on. POS tagging and dependency parsing are typically designed with a pipelined structure that analyzes POS tags before dependency parsing.…”
