Abstract

In our recent work, we investigated how to use quantum detectors (detectors) for improving the effectiveness of Information Retrieval (IR) systems. The implementation of these detectors in IR is still an open problem. In this paper, we give the initial specifications for the design of the systems based on detectors using kinds. In particular, a probabilistic model of the kinds is introduced, and the use of them in ranking by probability of relevance and in relevance feedback are illustrated.
