BioText Team Report for the TREC 2003 Genomics Track

چکیده
The BioText project team participated in both tasks of the TREC 2003 genomics track. Key to our approach in the primary task was the use of an organism-name recognition module, a module for recognizing gene name variants, and MeSH descriptors. Text classification improved the results slightly. In the secondary task, the key insight was casting it as a classification problem of choosing between the title and the last sentence of the abstract, although MeSH descriptors helped somewhat in this task as well. These approaches yielded results within the top three groups in both tasks.

BioText Team Report for the TREC 2006 Genomics Track
The paper reports on the work conducted by the BioText team at UC Berkeley for the TREC 2006 Genomics track. Our approach had three main focal points: First, based on our successful results in the TREC 2003 Genomics track [1], we emphasized gene name recall. Second, given the structured nature of the Generic Topic Types (GTTs), we attempted to design queries that covered every part of the topic...

The BioText group participated in the two main tasks of the TREC 2004 Genomics track. Our approach to the ad hoc task was similar to the one used in the 2003 Genomics track, but due to the lack of training data, we did not achieve the high scores of the previous year. The most novel aspect of our submission for the categorization task centers around our method for assigning Gene Ontology (GO) c...

The Tarragon Consulting team participated in the primary task of the TREC 2003 Genomics Track. We used a combination of knowledge-engineering and corpus analysis to construct semantic models of the interactions between genes/proteins and other biological entities in the organism, and then used automatic methods to convert these models into evidential queries that could be executed by the K2 sea...
متن کاملTask-Specific Query Expansion (MultiText Experiments for TREC 2003)
I. INTRODUCTION For TREC 2003 the MultiText Project focused its efforts on the Genomics and Robust tracks. We also submitted passage-retrieval runs for the QA track. For the Genomics Track primary task, we used an amalgamation of retrieval and query expansion techniques, including tiering, term rewriting and pseudo-relevance feedback. For the Robust Track, we examined the impact of pseudo-relev...
متن کاملImproving the Robustness of Language Models - UIUC TREC 2003 Robust and Genomics Experiments
In this paper, we report our experiments in the TREC 2003 Genomics Track and the Robust Track. A common theme that we explored is the robustness of a basic language modeling retrieval approach. We examine several aspects of robustness, including robustness in handling different types of queries, different types of documents, and optimizing performance for difficult topics. Our basic retrieval m...
