Chapter 6 of the book "Statistical Language Models for Information Retrieval: A Critical Review," by ChengXiang Zhai is presented. In this chapter, the author reviews a wide spectrum of work on using language models for different kinds of special retrieval tasks. Aside from ad hoc retrieval as the focus of this chapter, the author also intentionally focused on applications of language models in unsupervised settings and left out work on using language models in supervised learning settings. |
