NLPR at TREC 2004: Robust Experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is the second time that the Chinese Information Processing group of NLPR participates in TREC. In the past, we have investigated the use of two key technologies: Window-based weighting method and Semantic Tree Model for query expansion, with success, to tasks in novelty and robust tracks. We focused on the Robust Retrieval Track at this year’s conference. Based on the previous IR architecture, our research on this year's robust mainly focused on three aspects: (1) two-step retrieval scheme; (2) word sense entropy; (3) several strategies for merging multiple runs.

NLPR at TREC 2003: Novelty and Robust
It is the first time that the Chinese Information Processing group of NLPR participates in TREC. Our goal in this year is to test our IR system and get some experience about the TREC evaluation. So, we select two retrieval tasks: Novelty Track and Robust Track. We build a new IR system based on two key technologies: Window-based weighting method and Semantic Tree Model for query expansion. In t...

1 Overview It is the third time that Chinese Information Processing Group of NLPR takes part in TREC. In the past, we participated in Novelty track and Robust track, in which we had evaluated our two key notions: Window-based Retrieval Algorithm and Result Emerging Strategy [1][2]. This year we focus on investigating the significance of relevance feedback, so HARD track is our best choice. HARD...

The Robust Retrieval track is a traditional ad hoc retrieval task with the focus on individual topic effectiveness. This track provides us an opportunity to do experiments on our recently proposed IR model using a word-by-sense matrix document representation, which was called Sense Matrix Model (SMM) [Swen 2003, 2004]. For the first time to extensively test the model, some simpler and easy-toim...
متن کاملJuru at TREC 2004: Experiments with Prediction of Query Difficulty
Our experiments in the Robust track this year focused on predicting query difficulty and using this prediction for improving information retrieval. We developed two prediction algorithms and used the subsequent prediction in several ways in order to improve the performance of the search engine. These included modifying the search engine parameters, using selective query expansion, and switching...
