Some Experiments with Blind Feedback and Re-ranking for Chinese Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our formal runs, we have experimented with hybrid-term indexing and bigram indexing because hybrid-term indexing is a more distinct type of indexing strategy for better pooling and because bigram indexing usually gives robust (near) good results. We have also used our pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) methods. In the informal runs, we have experimented with our previous re-ranking strategy, called title re-ranking. This strategy rewards documents which title terms match with the terms in the title query. Title re-ranking is able to improve the effectiveness performance for both short and long queries when bigram indexing is used. For formal runs, our best relax MAP achieved was 36% and 51% using PRF, for title queries and long queries respectively. For informal runs, our best relax MAP achieved was 43% for title queries and 50% for long queries using both PRF and merging retrieval lists.

Ranking Refinement via Relevance Feedback in Geographic Information Retrieval
Recent evaluation results from Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR) indicate that current information retrieval methods are effective to retrieve relevant documents for geographic queries, but they have severe difficulties to generate a pertinent ranking of them. Motivated by these results in this paper we present a novel re-ranking method, which employs information obtained through a relevan...

This paper describes monolingual, cross-language, and multilingual retrieval experiments using CLEF-2002 test collection. The paper presents a technique for incorporating blind relevance feedback into a document ranking formula based on logistic regression analysis, and a procedure for decomposing German or Dutch compounds into their component words.

متن کاملPseudo-Relevance Feedback and Title Re-Ranking for Chinese Information Retrieval
In our formal runs, we have experimented with the retrieval based on character-based indexing and hybrid term indexing because these are more distinct types of indexing for better pooling. We confirmed that character-based indexing did not produce relatively good retrieval effectiveness. We have also experimented with three new pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) methods. These new methods were abl...
