چکیده
We report on the experiments undertaken by the NICTA I2D2 Group as part of GeoCLEF 2006, as well as post-GeoCLEF evaluations and improvements to the submitted system. In particular, we used techniques to assign probabilistic likelihoods to geographic candidates for each identified geo-term, and a probabilistic IR engine. A normalisation process that adjusts term weights, so as to prevent expanded geo-terms from overwhelming non-geo terms, is shown to be crucial.

This paper details the participation of the XLDB group from the University of Lisbon at the GeoCLEF task of CLEF 2006. We tested text mining methods that make use of an ontology to extract geographic references from text, assigning documents to encompassing geographic scopes. These scopes are used in document retrieval through a ranking function that combines BM25 text weighting with a similari...

This paper describes our experiments on the Geographical Query Parsing pilot-task for English at GeoCLEF 2007. Our system uses some modules of a Geographical Information Retrieval system presented at GeoCLEF 2006 [3] and modified for GeoCLEF 2007. The system uses deep linguistic analysis and Geographical Knowledge to perform the task.
متن کاملMonolingual Retrieval Experiments with Spatial Restrictions at GeoCLEF 2007
The participation of the University of Hildesheim focused on the monolingual German and English tasks of GeoCLEF 2007. Based on the results of GeoCLEF 2005 and GeoCLEF 2006, the weighting and expansion of geographic named entities (NE) and Blind Relevance Feedback were combined. This year an improved model for German Named Entity Recognition was evaluated.
