A probabilistic model to exploit user expectations in XML information retrieval

作者:

Highlights:

• XML information retrieval models return nested elements as result to a user query.

• User explores only elements that he expects to be relevant.

• The elements structural characteristics (tag, position…) attract the user attention.

• Important elements must be boosted according to their structural context.

• Element importance as prior probability improves retrieval effectiveness.
