NiCT at TREC 2009: Employing Three Models for Entity Ranking Track
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes experiments carried out at NiCT for the TREC 2009 Entity Ranking track. Our main study is to develop an effective approach to rank entities via measuring the “similarities” between supporting snippets of entities and input query. Three models are implemented to this end. 1) The DLM regards entity ranking as a task of calculating the probabilities of generating input query given supporting snippets of entities via language model. 2) The RSVM ranks entities via a supervised Ranking SVM. 3) The CSVM, an unsupervised model, ranks entities according to the probabilities of input query belonging to topics represented by entities and their supporting snippets via SVM classifier. The evaluation shows that the DLM is the best on P@10, while the RSVM outperforms the others on nDCG.

This paper gives an overview of our work done for the TREC 2009 Entity track. We propose a hierarchical relevance retrieval model for entity ranking. In this model, three levels of relevance are examined which are document, passage and entity, respectively. The final ranking score is a linear combination of the relevance scores from the three levels. Furthermore, we exploit the structure of tab...

Our goal in participating in the TREC 2009 Entity Track is to study whether QA list technique can help improve accuracy of the entity finding task. Also, we take a looking for homepage finding to identify homepages of an entity by training a maximum entropy classifier and a logistic regression models for three types of entity respectively.
متن کاملOverview of the TREC 2009 Entity Track
The goal of the entity track is to perform entity-oriented search tasks on the World Wide Web. Many user information needs would be better answered by specific entities instead of just any type of documents. The track defines entities as “typed search results”, “things”, represented by their homepages on the web. Searching for entities thus corresponds to ranking these homepages. The track ther...
