  1. A Language Modeling Approach to Information Retrieval (1998 · 1,869 citations)
    Ponte and Croft ask whether document ranking can rest on an explicit probabilistic model instead of hand-tuned term-weighting formulas.
  2. Large Scale Parallel Document Mining for Machine Translation (2010 · 217 citations)
    Statistical machine translation needs parallel text, which is scarce compared with monolingual web data. Earlier mining methods depended on metadata such as publication dates or document structure, and that information is unreliable on the open Web. The authors treat parallel document discovery as cross-language…
