Rank-biased precision for measurement of retrieval effectiveness

A. Moffat, J. Zobel
Computer Science
TOIS
1 December 2008

A range of methods for measuring the effectiveness of information retrieval systems has been proposed. Expand

SRST2: Rapid genomic surveillance for public health and hospital microbiology labs

M. Inouye, Harriet Dashnow, +5 authors K. Holt
Biology, Medicine
Genome Medicine
20 November 2014

Rapid molecular typing of bacterial pathogens is critical for public health epidemiology, surveillance and infection control, yet routine use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for these purposes poses… Expand

How reliable are the results of large-scale information retrieval experiments?

SIGIR '98
1 August 1998

A new pooling strategy that can significantly in- creasethe number of relevant documents found for given effort, withoutcompromising fairness. Expand

1 November 2010

We propose rank-biased overlap (RBO), a measure of the similarity between incomplete rankings, which is based on a simple probabilistic user model. Expand

Information retrieval system evaluation: effort, sensitivity, and reliability

M. Sanderson, J. Zobel
Computer Science
SIGIR '05
15 August 2005

The effectiveness of information retrieval systems is measured by comparing performance on a common set of queries and documents. Expand

Methods for Identifying Versioned and Plagiarized Documents

T. C. Hoad, J. Zobel
Computer Science
J. Assoc. Inf. Sci. Technol.
1 February 2003

We evaluate two families of methods for searching a collection to find documents that are coderivative, that is, are versions of each other. Expand

Phonetic string matching: lessons from information retrieval

J. Zobel, P. Dart
Computer Science
SIGIR '96
18 August 1996

Phonetic matching is used in applications such as name retrieval, where the spelling of a name is used to identify other strings that are likely to be of similar pronunciation. Expand

Inverted files versus signature files for text indexing

J. Zobel, A. Moffat, K. Ramamohanarao
Computer Science
TODS
1 December 1998

We compare inverted files and signature files in the context of text indexing, paying particular attention to query evaluation speed and space requirements. Expand

Compression of inverted indexes For fast query evaluation

F. Scholer, H. Williams, J. Yiannis, J. Zobel
Computer Science
SIGIR '02
11 August 2002

We propose several simple optimisations to well-known integer compression schemes for inverted lists of document postings that store the position and frequency of indexed terms, and show experimentally that these lead to significant reductions in time. Expand
