Speculation

Having surveyed examples of the two major RF techniques in the two prominent mathematical models, as well as overviewing the results of combining those techniques into more sophisticated systems, I argue that Relevance Feedback does in fact help find more relevant documents for the user. Given that, why is Relevance Feedback so conspicuously absent from the major IR systems on the World Wide Web?
