Decision Level Data Fusion for Routing of Documents in the TREC3 Context: A Base Case Analysis of Worst Case Results.
Paul B. Kantor · Text REtrieval Conference · 1994
The performance of a simulated test of decision level data fusion in the routing (filtering) task of the Text Retrieval Conference is summarized and analyzed. The relatively poor results of an approach in which a specific fusion rule was selected for each retrieval task are analyzed in terms of a best possible fusion scenario based on a given scheme for quantizing the messages from the systems to be combined. The limitations of that scenario are in turn explored, and possible ways to improve upon it are outlined.
