Relevance Feedback

No experiments have yet been conducted with any form of relevance feedback. However, all the functions used contain the Robertson/Sparck Jones weight , which includes relevance information if it is available. Therefore in principle all the functions could be used in a relevance feedback situation (with or without query expansion). Clearly there may be interaction between the values of the ks and the use of relevance information, which would have to be investigated.
