Analyzing Quantum Probability Ranking Principle with the concept of Hyperspace Analogue to Language (HAL)

摘要

In the light of Quantum Physics, probabilistic technique is said to support a backbone in the domain of Quantum Information Retrieval (QIR). This well known domain is based on the Quantum Probability Theory, which is used to examine the probability of relevance of a document given a user's query. The Quantum Probability Ranking Principle (QPRP), captures dependencies between documents in absolute way via “quantum interference” by considering a single vector i.e., one-dimension subspace. The HAL semantic space can be used to capture meaning of the document of information needs by representing the document into a high dimensional semantic space. This paper presents an investigation of the Quantum Probability Ranking Principle with the concept of HAL semantic space such that which can act as a bridge the gap between Quantum Probability Theory and HAL semantic space, that can results to agreeable performance in an ad-hoc retrieval task of document ranking.
