Pseudo-Query Reformulation
Automatic query reformulation refers to rewriting a user's original query in order to improve the ranking of retrieval results compared to the original query. We present a general framework for automatic query reformulation based on discrete optimization. Our approach, referred to as pseudo-query reformulation, treats automatic query reformulation as a search problem over the graph of unweighted queries linked by minimal transformations (e.g. term additions, deletions). This framework allows us to test existing performance prediction methods as heuristics for the graph search process. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach on several publicly available datasets.

Generative Query Reformulation for Effective Adhoc Search
Performing automatic reformulations of a user's query is a popular paradigm used in information retrieval (IR) for improving effectiveness -- as exemplified by the pseudo-relevance feedback approaches, which expand the q…

Pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) has proven to be an effective query reformulation technique to improve retrieval accuracy. It aims to alleviate the mismatch of linguistic expressions between a query and its potential rel…
RetrievalGenQREnsemble: Zero-Shot LLM Ensemble Prompting for Generative Query Reformulation
Query Reformulation(QR) is a set of techniques used to transform a user's original search query to a text that better aligns with the user's intent and improves their search experience. Recently, zero-shot QR has been sh…
