KPNM at the NTCIR-11 MobileClick Task

This paper describes KPNM’s (Knowledge Processing and Networked Manufacturing lab at Hunan University of Science and Technology) participation in the Mobile Information Access ("MobileClick") task at the NTCIR-11. We chained simple techniques based on statistical models and heuristic rules to extract significant text units from the web pages retrieved by the given query. Then we ranked the text units by using the vector space model. The text units are regarded as iunits as the final results. This is our first attempt in this task. Due to the limited human resources and short of time, more measures should be considered in the future for generating the iunits particularly for use in the mobile devices.
