QUT_Para at TREC 2012 Web Track: Word Associations for Retrieving Web Documents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many existing information retrieval models do not explicitly take into account information about word associations. Our approach makes use of first and second order relationships found in natural language, known as syntagmatic and paradigmatic associations, respectively. This is achieved by using a formal model of word meaning within the query expansion process. On ad hoc retrieval, our approach achieves statistically significant improvements in MAP (0.158) and P@20 (0.396) over our baseline model. The ERR@20 and nDCG@20 of our system was 0.249 and 0.192 respectively. Our results and discussion suggest that information about both syntagamtic and paradigmatic associations can assist with improving retrieval effectiveness on ad hoc retrieval.

Query-Structure Based Web Page Indexing
Indexing is a crucial technique for dealing with the massive amount of data present on the web. In our third participation in the web track at TREC 2012, we explore the idea of building an efficient query-based indexing system over Web page collection. Our prototype explores the trends in user queries and consequently indexes texts using particular attributes available in the documents. This pa...

Indexing is a crucial technique for dealing with the massive amount of data present on the web. Indexing can be performed based on words or on phrases. Our approach aims to efficiently index web documents by employing a hybrid technique in which web documents are indexed in such a way that knowledge available in the Wikipedia and in meta-content is efficiently used. Our preliminary experiments ...

In this paper, we report our experiments in the mixed query task of the Web track for TREC 2004. We deal with the problem of ranking Web documents within a multicriteria framework and propose a novel approach for information retrieval. We focus on the design of a set of criteria aiming at capturing complementary aspects of relevance. Moreover, we provide aggregation procedures that are based on...

In this paper, we report the experiments we conducted for our participation to the TREC 2012 Web Track. We experimented a brand new system that models the latent concepts underlying a query. We use Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a generative probabilistic topic model, to exhibit highly-specific query-related topics from pseudo-relevant feedback documents. We define these topics as the laten...

This paper describes the details of our participation in the Web track of the TREC 2010. Our approach collects information from the meta data and from some html tags of the web pages. Meta data is often used by the authors to describe the main topic or purpose of the webpage. Usually, the index words are collected from the visible data, but our method is preferable, when the webpage contains on...
