This lead me to the differential approach, a probabilistic framework based on the Maron’s probabilistic model. The model is described in . text/html 2008-11-07T20:46:20+01:00 bpiwowar http://www.bpiwowar.net/research/structured_information_retrieval Summary During my phD thesis, I worked on Structured Information Retrieval and Machine Learning. Ludovic Denoyer and I developped a Bayesian Network framework for Information Access. Ludovic focused on classification while I focused on Information Retrieval. text/html 2008-11-07T20:39:11+01:00 bpiwowar http://www.bpiwowar.net/research/query_log_mining We worked with Georges Dupret on a model that is able to distinguish the attractiveness (how likely a user is going to click on it) of paper and the position effect (how likely is it that the user will even consider this document, i.e. look at the snippet). This work is described in a SIGIR paper . text/html 2008-10-27T12:44:11+01:00 bpiwowar http://www.bpiwowar.net/start [English CV] My research now focus on developing formal models for (Structured) Information Retrieval (IR) inspired by the Quantum Mechanic formalism. I am also interested in IR evaluation, machine learning for IR, interactive IR, and XML databases.
