Add a topic feature to learning to rank model
Li Wan, Wen Tao Yang · 2016
Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), is heavily cited in the machine learning literature, but its feasibility and effectiveness in information retrieval is mostly unknown. Learning to rank is useful for document retrieval, it uses feature vector to rank, but there is no feature about document topic. Our paper combines LDA and learning to rank, adds a topic feature into the feature vector of learning to rank algorithm. And the experiment results show that the topic feature has improved the rank result effectively.
