Re-Ranking for Geo-Relevance With Non-Contextual Heuristics at GeoCLEF 2007
نویسنده
چکیده
Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR) in an attempt to improve relevance by taking geographic information in textual documents into account. We describe out experiments carried out at the GeoCLEF 2007 evaluation [1] that investigate further the role of geo-filtering based re-ranking and query expansion with geographic terms. Our main findings are that manual query expansion with geo-terms is moderately effective and simple automatic geo-filtering based reranking suffers from robustness across queries.

This paper describes our participation at GeoCLEF 2005. We detail the main software components of our Geo-IR system, its adaptation for GeoCLEF and the obtained results. The software architecture includes a geographic knowledge base, a text mining tool for geo-referencing documents, and a georanking component. Results show that geo-ranking is heavily dependent on the information in the knowledg...

This paper describes the second participation of the SINAI group of the University of Jaén in GeoCLEF 2007. We have developed a system different from the one presented in GeoCLEF 2006. Our architecture is made up of five main modules. The first one is the Information Retrieval Subsystem, that works with collections and queries in English and returns relevant documents for a query. The queries t...

This paper describes the third participation of the SINAI research group from University of Jaén in GeoCLEF track. We have tried to improve the system proposed last year in GeoCLEF 2007. The main developments are related to the use of query reformulation, keywords recognition, hyponyms extraction and query geo-expansion. On the other hand, new rules have been applied in the Validator subsystem ...
متن کاملGIR Experiments with Forostar at GeoCLEF 2007
In this paper we describe our Geographic Information Retrieval experiments with Forostar, our GIR application on the GeoCLEF 2007 corpus and query set. We compare the results from orthogonal text with no geographic entities and only geographic entities with standard text retrieval and combined text and geographic relevance methods. The text and named entity analysis and retrieval methods of For...

This paper reports the participation of the University of Lisbon at the 2007 GeoCLEF task. We adopted a novel approach for GIR, focused on handling geographic features and feature types on both queries and documents, generating signatures with multiple geographic concepts as a scope of interest. We experimented new query expansion and text mining strategies, relevance feedback approaches and ra...
