  1. Relevance feedback is an effective technique for improving retrieval performance using the feedback documents. Selecting effective feedback terms and weighting them have been always challenging. Several methods based on different assumptions have been so far proposed, however, they do not directly optimize the retrieval performance. Learning an effective relevance feedback model is not trivial since the true feedback distribution is unknown. In this paper, we propose a general reinforcement learning framework for relevance feedback, called RML. Our framework directly optimizes any desired retrieval metric, including precision-oriented, recall-oriented, and even diversity metrics. RML can be easily extended to directly optimize any arbitrary user satisfaction signal. Experiments on standard TREC collections demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.
