چکیده
This paper describes the work done in Renmin University of China for the Federated Web Search Track of TREC 2014. We participated in the resource selection task. We used the LDA topic modeling approach to select potentially relevant resources for a given query. The initial results are promising.

Opinions in Federated Search: University of Lugano at TREC 2014 Federated Web Search Track
This technical report presents the work carried out at the University of Lugano on TREC 2014 Federated Web Search track. The main motivation behind our approach is to provide better coverage of opinions that are present in federated resources. On the resource selection and vertical selection steps, we apply opinion mining to select opinionated resources/verticals given a user’s query. We do thi...
متن کاملOpinion Retrieval Experiments Using Generative Models: Experiments for the TREC 2007 Blog Track
Ranking blog posts that express opinions regarding a given topic should serve a critical function in helping users. We explored a couple of methods for opinion retrieval in the framework of probabilistic language models. The first method combines topic-relevance model and opinion-relevance model, at document level, that captures topic dependence of the opinion expressions. The second method com...

متن کاملA Contextual Approach to Dynamic Search and Topic Change
In this thesis, we propose a unique approach to dynamic search that uses a LinUCB contextual bandit algorithm to automatically search topics and change queries when finished. The algorithm models actions that a user might utilize when querying a search engine, including the action of ending one topic search and starting another by completely changing the query, and uses the context surrounding ...
متن کاملImproved Query Topic Models via Pseudo-Relevant Pólya Document Models
Query-expansion via pseudo-relevance feedback is a popular method of overcoming the problem of vocabulary mismatch and of increasing average retrieval effectiveness. In this paper, we develop a new method that estimates a query topic model from a set of pseudo-relevant documents using a new language modelling framework. We assume that documents are generated via a mixture of multivariate Pólya ...
