  2. Relevance feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance_feedback

    Relevance feedback is a feature of some information retrieval systems. The idea behind relevance feedback is to take the results that are initially returned from a given query, to gather user feedback, and to use information about whether or not those results are relevant to perform a new query. We can usefully distinguish between three types ...

    This is the so called pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF). [6] Pseudo-relevance feedback is efficient in average but can damage results for some queries, [7] especially difficult ones since the top retrieved documents are probably non-relevant. Pseudo-relevant documents are used to find expansion candidate terms that co-occur with many query terms. [8]
