Passage Retrieval vs. Document Retrieval in the Monolingual Task with the IR-n System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes our participation in monolingual tasks at CLEF 2006. We have submitted results for the following languages: English, French, Portuguese and Hungarian. We focused on studying different weighting schemes (okapi and dfr) and retrieval strategies (passage retrieval and document retrieval) to improve retrieval performance. After an analysis of our experiments and of the official results at CLEF, we find that our different configurations (French, Portuguese and Hungarian) achieve considerably improved scores.

Previous works showed that the use of document passages like basic unit of information, to calculate the relevance of a document to a question, improve the results of the information retrieval systems sensibly. However, IR community has not arrived to a consent about how to define those text passages so that the system can improve the efficiently. This paper reports on experiments with IR-n sys...
متن کاملBoosting Passage Retrieval through Reuse in Question Answering
Question Answering (QA) is an emerging important field in Information Retrieval. In a QA system the archive of previous questions asked from the system makes a collection full of useful factual nuggets. This paper makes an initial attempt to investigate the reuse of facts contained in the archive of previous questions to help and gain performance in answering future related factoid questions. I...

This paper describes our experiments in Geographical Information Retrieval (GIR) in the context of our participation in the GeoCLEF 2006 Monolingual English task. The TALPGeoIR system follows a similar architecture of the GeoTALP-IR system presented at GeoCLEF 2005 [2] with some changes in the Retrieval modes and the Geographical Knowledge Base. The system has four phases performed sequentially...
