A Non-Functional Prototype at TREC 2003
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a first attempt at participation in the TREC competition, we built a system which produced some preliminary results, but was unable to generate the quality of results that we expected. While we were able to submit four base-line runs, bugs were discovered in the final hours before the deadline making it impossible to submit results using our intended implementation. We have since found additional coding errors, making our submitted results expectedly poor. The size of our index dataset was approximately 3.8GB without compression. We did not use term position information nor any kind of phrasal indexing.

متن کاملTrec Novelty Track At IRIT-SIG
In TREC 2003, IRIT improved the strategy that was introduced in TREC 2002. A sentence is considered as relevant if it matches the topic with a certain level of coverage. This coverage depends on the category of terms used in the texts. Different types of terms have been defined: highly relevant, scarcely relevant, nonrelevant and highly non-relevant. With regard to the novelty part, a sentence ...
متن کاملSocrates: A question answering prototype for Bulgarian
In this paper we present “Socrates” a prototype of a QA system for the Bulgarian language. The system exploits both encyclopaedic resources and information found on the Web. The approach uses linguistic patterns and indicators to rank the results obtained from the Web. An encyclopaedic virtual database VIDA was created to provide uniform interface to different on-line and offline encyclopaedic ...

متن کاملMonolingual Web-Based Factoid Question Answering In Chinese,Swedish, English And Japanese
In this paper we extend the application of our statistical pattern classification approach to question answering (QA) which has previously been applied successfully to English and Japanese to develop two prototype QA systems in Chinese and Swedish. We show what data is necessary to achieve this and also evaluate the performance of the two new systems using a translation of the TREC 2003 factoid...
