On-Topic Analysis
On going research in the fascinating area of on-topic analysis and topic clustering.
Term Vector Models
Introductory and advanced studies on term vector theory. A great way for students and search engine marketers to learn the basics of vector space models.
- Term Vector Theory and Keyword Weights
- The Term Count Model
- The Classic Vector Space Model
- Vector Models based on Normalized Frequencies
- Implementation and Application of Term Weights in a MySQL Environment
- The Extended Boolean Model - Weighted Queries
Co-Occurrence Theory
Advanced studies on keyword research and co-occurrence indices (c-indices)
- Keywords Co-Occurrence and Semantic Connectivity
- C-Indices and Measures of Associations
- Targeting Documents and Terms Through Co-Occurrence Data
- Co-Occurrence and the Scope of Terms
- Temporal Co-Occurrence: How does a Developing Event Affects Search Results?
Applied Fractal Geometry
Fractal Geometry applied to disciplines that interface with IR.
- The Fractal Nature of Semantics
- Fractal Motifs and Iterated Function Systems
- Overlapping Patterns: EF-Ratios, Separators, Patterns and Pitfalls
- Grammar, Semantics, Knowledge and Fractals
- The Keyword Density of Non-Sense
- Fractal Patterns, L-Systems and Semantics
- Fractal Clusters - Fractal Networks
- Fractals in Information Retrieval
Conference Articles
These are articles relevant to conferences we have attended recently.
Link Models
Seminal papers on link models. Oldies but goodies, pointing to the many fallacies and futilities of PageRank and so called "pagerank calculators" --findings are now quite obvious.
- WPSS: A General Framework for Web Page Scoring Systems
- A Study on PageRank Values of Paid-Result Search Engines
Miscellaneous Articles
