All factors of personalized information retrieval system are taken into account in this method. So using this method for personalized information retrieval (PIR) system can efficiently judge multi-value relevance, such as quite relevant, comparatively relevant, commonly relevant, basically relevant and completely non-relevant, and realize a kind of transform of qualitative concepts and quantity and improve accuracy of relevance judgements in PIR system. Experimental data showed that the method is practical and valid. Evaluation results are more accurate and approach to the fact better.展开更多

It incorporates recent work in cognitive linguistics, with ostensive-inference as its key model. Under the influence of Relevance theory, the translation of culture-loaded words is reader-oriented. Translators are obliged to help target readers to establish new assumptions to achieve equivalent response.展开更多
