Topical Diversity and Relevance Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the participation of the University of Amsterdam’s Intelligent Systems Lab in the relevance feedback track at TREC 2009. Our main conclusion for the relevance feedback track is that a topical diversity approach provides good feedback documents. Further, we find that our relevance feedback algorithm seems to help most when there are sufficient relevant documents available.

On the Topical Structure of the Relevance Feedback Set
We investigate the topical structure of the set of documents used to expand a query in pseudorelevance feedback (PRF). We propose a coherence score to measure the relative topical diversity/compactness of this document set, which we call the relevance feedback set. The coherence score captures both the topical relatedness of the members of a document set as well as the set’s overall clustering ...

متن کاملThe University of Amsterdam at TREC 2009 Blog , Web , Entity , and Relevance Feedback
We describe the participation of the University of Amsterdam’s ILPS group in the web, blog, web, entity, and relevance feedback track at TREC 2009. Our main preliminary conclusions are as follows. For the Blog track we find that for top stories identification a blogs to news approach outperforms a simple news to blogs approach. This is interesting, as this approach starts with no input except f...
متن کاملThe Impact of Positive, Negative and Topical Relevance Feedback
This document contains a description of experiments for the 2008 Relevance Feedback track. We experiment with different amounts of feedback, including negative relevance feedback. Feedback is implemented using massive weighted query expansion. Parsimonious query expansion using only relevant documents and Jelinek-Mercer smoothing performs best on this relevance feedback track dataset. Additiona...
