Abstract
En 中文
In the TREC collection-a large full-text experimental text collection with widely varying document lengths-we observe that the likelihood of a document being judged relevant by a user increases with the document length. We show that a retrieval strategy, such as the vector-space cosine match, that retrieves documents of different lengths with roughly equal chances, will not optimally retrieve useful documents from such a collection. We present a modified technique-pivoted cosine normalization-that attempts to match the likelihood of retrieving documents of all lengths to the likelihood of their relevance, and show that this technique yields significant improvements in retrieval effectiveness.
