June 30, 2004 (FernandoDiaz)

• N. Fuhr (1992). Probabilistic Models in Information Retrieval. The Computer Journal 35(3) PS
• I. Ruthven (2003). Re-examining the potential effectiveness of interactive query expansion. Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval. Sigir 2003. PDF

On the lighter side, and providing good context, is the optional reading of Robertson's Salton award lecture,

• Stephen Robertson, Salton Award Lecture: On theoretical argument in information retrieval. Talk given at SIGIR 2000, Athens, July 2000. ACM SIGIR Forum 34, 1, Spring 2000. (pp 1--10). PDF

July 7, 2004 (VanessaMurdock)

• W. B. Croft and D. J. Harper (1979). Using Probabilistic Models of Document Retrieval Without Relevance Information. Journal of Documentation, 35:285-295. (This is in Readings in Information Retrieval - I have it if you need to borrow it. You can also get Readings from the CIIR Library. Talk to Kate)

• John Lafferty and Chengxiang Zhai (2001). Document Language Models, Query Models, and Risk Minimization for Information Retrieval. Proceedings of the 24th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval. PDF

July 14, 2004 (DonMetzler)

• Was going to put up another paper, but figured this one is plenty to chew on.

• H. Turtle, and W. B. Croft (1991). Inference Networks for Document Retrieval. Proceedings of the 13th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval PDF

Here's an Inference Network journal article if you're interested in learning more:

• H. Turtle, and W. B. Croft (1989). Evaluation of an Inference Networ-Based Retrieval Model. ACM Transactions on Information Systems 9(3) PDF

July 21, 2004 (JiwoonJeon)

• Ramesh Nallapati, "Discriminative models for Information Retrieval" to appear in SIGIR '04, Sheffield, England, July 25-29, 2004 PDF
• Inferring probability of relevance using the method of logistic regression, Fredric Gey, SIGIR 1994. html

July 28, 2004 (JiwoonJeon)

This is not a mistake- we really are discussing these papers again (so if you didn't get a chance on the 21st, you still have time!)

• Ramesh Nallapati, "Discriminative models for Information Retrieval" to appear in SIGIR '04, Sheffield, England, July 25-29, 2004 PDF
• Inferring probability of relevance using the method of logistic regression, Fredric Gey, SIGIR 1994. html
