IRn in the CLEF Robust WSD Task 2008

چکیده
This paper describes our participation in the Robust WSD Task within the CLEF 2008. The aim of this pilot task is exploring methods which can take profit of WSD information in order to improve the IR systems. In our approach we have used a passage based system jointly with a WordNet based expansion method for the collection documents and the queries using the two WSD systems runs provided by the organization. Furthermore we have experimented with two well known relevance feedback methods LCA and PRF -, in order to figure out which is more suitable to take profit of the WSD query expansion based on Wordnet. Our best run has obtained a 4th place in the competition with a value of 0.4008 MAP. We conclude that LCA fits better than PRF to this task. And that our WSD expansion is useful for some query subsets. In future works we will study the features of the query subsets for which the performance of our system decreases.

SINAI at Robust WSD Task @ CLEF 2008: When WSD is a Good Idea for Information Retrieval tasks?
This year we have participated in the first edition of Robust WSD task with the aim of investigating the performance of disambiguation tools applied to Information Retrieval (IR). The main interest of our experimentation is the characterization of queries where WSD is a useful tool. That is, which issues must be fulfilled by a query in order to apply an state-of-art WSD tool? After the interpre...

This paper presents the participation of the semantic N-levels search engine SENSE at the CLEF 2009 Ad Hoc Robust-WSD Task. During the participation at the same task of CLEF 2008, SENSE showed that WSD can be helpful to improve retrieval, even though the overall performance was not exciting mainly due to the adoption of a pure Vector Space Model with no heuristics. In this edition, our aim is t...

The Robust-WSD at CLEF 2009 aims at exploring the contribution of Word Sense Disambiguation to monolingual and multilingual Information Retrieval. The organizers of the task provide documents and topics which have been automatically tagged with Word Senses from WordNet using several state-of-the-art Word Sense Disambiguation systems. The Robust-WSD exercise follows the same design as in 2008. I...

This paper describes the participation of the IXA NLP group at the CLEF 2008 Robust-WSD Task. This is our first time at CLEF, and we participated at both the monolingual (English) and the bilingual (Spanish to English) subtasks. We tried several query and document expansion and translation strategies, with and without the use of the word sense disambiguation results provided by the organizers. ...

This report describes our approach to the Robust Word Sense Disambiguation task. We applied the same index expansion technique used in 2008 for the Question Answering WSD task, with the addition of pseudo (blind) relevance feedback. In our approach, a WordNet expanded index is generated from the disambiguated document collection. This index contains synonyms, hypernyms and holonyms of the disam...
