چکیده
In this paper we present a complete system for the treatment of the geographical dimension in the text and its application to information retrieval. This system has been evaluated in the GeoTime task of the 9th NTCIR workshop, making it possible to compare the system with other current approaches to the topic. In order to participate in this task we have added to our GIR system the temporal dimension. The system proposed here has a modular architecture in order to add or modify features. In the development of this system we have followed a QA-based approach to improve the system performance.

NTCIR-9 GeoTime at Osaka Kyoiku University - Toward Automatic Extraction of Place/Time Terms -
Our approach to NTCIR-9 Geotime was to obtain place/time information about topics from Wikipedia and Google using query terms extracted from topics. Adding this information to query terms, we retrieved documents using tag index and scored them. In addition, we compared tag of searched documents with time information, weighted the score value of documents retrieved, and ranked them...
متن کاملNTCIR-8 GeoTime at Osaka Kyoiku University: Hierarchical Index for Geographic Retrieval
We retrieved topics that contained the geographic and temporal information at NTCIR-8 GeoTime task. Employing morphological analysis, temporal and geographic information are extracted from GeoTime collection. The index that represents a geographic hierarchy is made from the geographic information. In the experiment, we confirmed that the effect of the geographic hierarchical index when topics i...

ABSTRACT GeoTime for the NTCIR Workshop 9 is the second evaluation of Geographic and Temporal Information Retrieval called “NTCIR GeoTime”. The focus of this task is on search with Geographic and Temporal constraints. This overview describes the data collections (Japanese and English news stories), topic development, assessment results and lessons learned from this second NTCIR GeoTime task, wh...
متن کاملThe Use of Inference Network Models in NTCIR-9 GeoTime
We describe our approach in identifying documents in a specific collection that are able to sufficiently answer a series of geotemporal queries. This year, we submitted four runs for the NTCIR-9 GeoTime task, using the Indri search engine, on a collection of English-language newspaper articles. Our four submitted runs achieved nDCG scores ranging from 0.5275 to 0.6254 and MAP ranging from 0.416...
متن کاملProbabilistic Text Retrieval for NTCIR9 GeoTime
For the NTCIR-9 Workshop UC Berkeley participated only in the GeoTime track. For our initial experiments we used only the Logistic Regression ranking with blind feedback approach that we also used in NTCIR-8. We participated in both English and Japanese monolingual and bilingual search tasks. For all Japanese topics we preprocessed the text using the ChaSen morphological analyzer for term segme...
