Improve KL -Divergence Language Models in Information Retrieval Using Corpus Local Structures

Abstract

dc:description

In summary, this thesis studies KL-divergence from different perspectives and proposes several new models to address the existing problems in KL-divergence language models. It results in more effective retrieval models, which should potentially benefit all retrieval applications.
