CSIR at TREC 2008 Expert Search Task: Modeling Expert Evidence in Expert Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we described our method for the expert search task in TREC 2008. First, we proposed an adaption to the language modeling method for expert search, which considers the probability of query generation separately using each kind of expert evidence (full name, abbreviated name, and email address). Current expert search models can be easily integrated into our method. Our experiments indicated that our method can make use of the ambiguous evidence in expert search (abbreviated name), which often casued a drop in effects in other methods. Besides, we also used a probabilistic measure to detect phrase in query, but it did not make better effectiveness.

This is the second year for the participation of Center for Studies of Information Resources (CSIR) in the TREC Expert Search Task. Rather than using the candidate profile based approach, a simplified two stage approach is used in our experiment, that is, documents are ranked based on topics, and each expert is scored intuitively by the weights of documents the expert appeared. Instead of the m...

We describe our participation in the TREC 2008 Enterprise track and detail our language modeling-based approaches. For document search, our focus was on query expansion using profiles of top ranked experts and on document priors. We found that these techniques result in small, but noticeable improvements over our baseline method. For expert search, we combine candidateand document-based models,...

متن کاملResearch on Expert Search at Enterprise Track of TREC 2006
In this research, we propose a new evidence-oriented framework to expert search. Here, the evidence is defined as a quadruple, . Each quadruple denotes that a "Query" and an "Expert", with a certain "Relation" between them, are found in a specific "Document". In the proposed framework, the task of Expert Search can be accomplished in three steps, namely, 1) ev...
