Abstract: Query performance prediction (QPP) aims to automatically estimate the performance of a query. Recently there have been many attempts to use these predictors to estimate whether a perturbed version of a query will outperform the original version. In essence, these approaches attempt to navigate the space of queries in a guided manner.
