Abstract

This paper describes the language modeling script constructed for the Spring 2000 Information Retrieval seminar. The script builds on Callan''s work of automatically generating language models for text databases by creating language models for internet search engines. An overview of the work, principles and observed properties of language models, the language modeling script (LAMB) and its shortcomings are described.
