TL;DR
This study shows that routing queries learned only from the documents in a query domain are better than the routing profiles learned when query domains are not used, and approximate a querydomain by a guerg zone.

A comparison of classifiers and document representations for the routing problem
451 Citations1995Hinrich Schütze, David A. Hull +1 more
This paper considers three classification techniques which have decision rules that are derived via explicit error minimization linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression, and neuraf networks, and finds that features based on latent semantic indexing are more effective for techniques such aslinear discriminant anaf-ysis and logistic regressors, which have no way to protect against overfitting.

A bug in my experimental software caused the relevance sampling results reported in the SIGIR '94 paper to be incorrect, and this note presents the corrected results, along with additional data supporting the original claim that uncertainty sampling has an advantage over relevance sampling in most training situations.

The Effect of Adding Relevance Information in a Relevance Feedback Environment
102 Citations1994Chris Buckley, Gerard Salton +1 more
Recall-precision evaluation reveals that as the amount of expansion of the query due to adding terms from relevant documents increases, so does the effectiveness, and there appears to be a linear relationship between the log of the number of terms added and the recall- Precision effectiveness.

Improving Text Retrieval for the Routing Problem using Latent Semantic Indexing
84 Citations1994David L. Hull
This paper applies LSI to the routing task, which operates under the assumption that a sample of relevant and non-relevant documents is available to use in constructing the query, and finds that when LSI is used is conjuction with statistical classification, there is a dramatic improvement in performance.
