Abstract:

Experimental approaches are widely employed to benchmark the performance of an information retrieval (IR) system. Measurements in terms of recall and precision are computed as performance indicators. Although they are good at assessing the retrieval effectiveness of an IR system, they fail to explore deeper, theoretical aspects of the associated models. The emergence of logic-based IR in the late eighties has spawned a body of work in which IR models are
