Measure-driven Keyword-Query Expansion
Summary: Introduces domain-neutral, measure-driven keyword-query expansion for progressive result refinement, using surprising co-occurrences and optional ratings instead of facets. A convex-optimization framework efficiently computes top-k expansions via pruning with low storage overhead. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
