York University at TREC 2009: Relevance Feedback Track
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a series of experiments conducted in our participation in the Relevance Feedback Track. We evaluate two traditional weighting models (BM25 and DFR) for the phase 1 task, which are widely used in text retrieval domain. We also evaluate a statistics-based feedback model and our proposed feedback model for the phase 2 task. Currently, we are waiting for the overview paper to facilitate further analyses.

We participated two chemical information retrieval tasks, Technology Survey (TS) task and Prior Art (PA) task in TREC 2010 chemical track. We aim to discover extra relevant chemical compounds for a given query. We investigate various basic retrieval models as well as corresponding Pseudo Relevance Feedback(PRF) models in chemical experiments. In order to eliminate low quality feedback documents...
متن کاملTopical Diversity and Relevance Feedback
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.

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 کاملUniversity of Padua at TREC 2009: Relevance Feedback Track
In the Relevance Feedback (RF) task the user is directly involved in the search process: given an initial set of results, he specifies if they are relevant or not to the achievement of his information goal. In the TREC 2009 RF track the first five documents retrieved by the baseline systems were judged by the assessors and then used as evidence for the RF algorithms to be tested. The specific a...
متن کاملRMIT University at TREC 2008: Relevance Feedback Track
This report outlines TREC-2008 Relevance Feedback Track experiments done at RMIT University. Relevance feedback in text retrieval systems is a process where a user gives explicit feedback on an initial set of retrieval results returned by a search system. For example, the user might mark some of the items as being relevant, or not relevant, to their current information need. This feedback can b...
