RALI Experiments in IR4QA at NTCIR-7

چکیده
In this report, we examine what information retrieval techniques can help identify documents that contain answers to different types of question. In particular, we exploit different external resource according to the type of question. In particular, Wikipedia will be exploited for identifying personal names and their translation, as well as biography-related keywords. Google search engine is used to identify additional translations of personal names. Our experiments show that these techniques can significantly increase retrieval effectiveness.

NTCIR-7 ACLIA IR4QA Results based on Qrels Version 2
This document is a postscript to the Overview of the NTCIR-7 ACLIA IR4QA Task [2]. At the NTCIR7 Workshop Meeting (December 2008), participating systems of IR4QA were evaluated based on “qrels version 1,” which covered the depth-30 pool for every topic and went further down the pool for a limited number of topics. Here, we report on revised results based on “qrels version 2” which covers the de...
متن کاملAre Popular Documents More Likely To Be Relevant? A Dive into the ACLIA IR4QA Pools
The ACLIA IR4QA Task at NTCIR-7 is an ad hoc document retrieval task involving three document languages. Although IR4QA used pooling for collecting relevance assessments, it was unique in that the pooled documents were sorted before presenting them to the assessors, based on the assumption that “popular” documents are more likely to be relevant than others. We show that this assumption is indee...
متن کاملStatistical Machine Translation based Passage Retrieval - Experiment at NTCIR-7 IR4QA Task
In this paper, we apply the statistical machine translation based passage retrieval, which was proposed at the last NTCIR-6 CLQA subtask, to the IR4QA Task. The experimental evaluation shows that the method is more effective for the relation and event type questions, which are longer and including relatively mane common keywords, than the definition and biography type questions, which are short...
متن کاملOverview of the NTCIR-7 ACLIA IR4QA Task
This paper presents an overview of the IR4QA (Information Retrieval for Question Answering) Task of the NTCIR-7 ACLIA (Advanced Cross-lingual Information Access) Task Cluster. IR4QA evaluates traditional ranked retrieval of documents using wellstudied metrics such as Average Precision, but the retrieval task is embedded in the context of cross-lingual question answering. That is, document retri...
متن کاملNTCIR-7 Patent Mining Experiments at RALI
We participated in the patent mining task at NTCIR7 workshop. Particularly, our experiments focus on English corpus. Based on the Indri search engine, we implemented a patent classification system, which is able to assign a research paper into the IPC system according to the annotated patents in the database. As the task is a cross-genre classification task, we tried several methods to bridge t...
