ACSys TREC-7 Experiments

چکیده
Experiments relating to TREC-7 Ad Hoc, HP and VLC tasks are described and results reported. Minor re nements of last year's Ad Hoc methods do not appear to have resulted in worthwile improvements in performance. However, larger bene ts were gained from automatic feedback than last year and concept scoring was very bene cial in the Manual Ad Hoc category. In the Automatic Ad Hoc category title-only performance seems to have su ered more severely than long-topic from a number of lexical scanning shortcomings and from an excessive stopword list. The HP track was used to validate the usibility of the combination of PADRE and the Quokka GUI. In the VLC track, the 100 gigabyte collection was indexed in under eight hours and moderately e ective queries were processed in less than two seconds.

ANU/ACSys TREC-5 Experiments
A number of experiments conducted within the framework of the TREC-5 conference and using the Parallel Document Retrieval Engine (PADRE) are reported. Several of the experiments involve the use of distance-based relevance scoring (spans). This scoring method is shown to be capable of very good precision-recall performance, provided that good queries can be generated. Semi-automatic methods for ...

Experiments relating to TREC-8 Ad Hoc, Web Track (Large and Small) and Query Track tasks are described and results reported. Due to time constraints, only minimal e ort was put into Ad Hoc and Query Track participation. In the Web Track, Google-style PageRanks were calculated for all 18.5 million pages in the VLC2 collection and for the 0.25 million pages in the WT2g collection. Various combina...

A number of experiments conducted within the framework of the TREC-6 conference and using a completely re-engineered version of the PArallel Document Retrieval Engine (PADRE97) are reported. Passage-based pseudo relevance feedback combined with a variant of City University's Okapi BM25 scoring function achieved best average precision, best recall and best precision@20 in the Long-topic Automati...
متن کاملBBN at TREC 7 : Using Hidden Markov
We present a new method for information retrieval using hidden Markov models (HMMs) and relate our experience with this system on the TREC-7 ad hoc task. We develop a general framework for incorporating multiple word generation mechanisms within the same model. We then demonstrate that an extremely simple realization of this model substantially outper-forms tf :idf ranking on both the TREC-6 an...
