Oracle at Trec8: A Lexical Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oracle’s system for Trec8 was the interMedia Text retrieval engine integrated with the Oracle8i database and SQL query language. interMedia Text supports a novel theme-based document retrieval capability using an extensive lexical knowledge base. Trec8 queries constructed by extracting themes from topic titles and descriptions were manually refined. Queries were simple and intuitive. Oracle’s results demonstrate that knowledge-based retrieval is a viable and scalable solution for information retrieval and that statistical training and tuning on the document collection is unnecessary for good performance in Trec.

متن کاملThe Role of Self-Regulatory Approach in Iranian Learners' Lexical Segmentation: The case of authentic materials
The present research investigated the effect of self-regulatory approach (with two components of self-checking and self-efficacy) on pre-intermediate Iranian learners' lexical segmentation in listening comprehension via authentic listening comprehension texts. To achieve this purpose, the investigators administered an Oxford Placement Test (2007) to ninety-eight students of two girls’ private j...

متن کاملQuery Expansion and Query Reduction in Document Retrieval
We investigate two seemingly incompatible approaches for improving document retrieval performance in the context of question answering: query expansion and query reduction. Queries are expanded by generating lexical paraphrases. Syntactic, semantic and corpus-based frequency information is used in this process. Queries are reduced by removing words that may detract from retrieval performance. F...
متن کاملPLIERS at TREC8
The use of the PLIERS text retrieval system in TREC8 experiments is described. The tracks entered for are: Ad-Hoc, Filtering (Batch and Routing) and the Web Track (Large only). We describe both retrieval efficiency and effectiveness results for all these tracks. We also describe some preliminary experiments with BM_25 tuning constant variation.
