HARD Track Overview in TREC 2004 (Notebook) High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents
نویسنده
چکیده
2. Can highly focused interaction with the searcher be used to improve the accuracy of a system? Participants created “clarification forms” generated in response to a query—and leveraging any information available in the corpus—and were filled out by the searcher. Typical clarification questions might ask whether some titles seem relevant, whether some words or names are on topic, or whether a short passage of text is related.

HARD Track Overview in TREC 2004 - High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents
The HARD track of TREC 2004 aims to improve the accuracy of information retrieval through the use of three techniques: (1) query metadata that better describes the information need, (2) focused and time-limited interaction with the searcher through “clarification forms”, and (3) incorporation of passage-level relevance judgments and retrieval. Participation in all three aspects of the track was...

TREC 2005 saw the third year of the High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents (HARD) track. The HARD track explores methods for improving the accuracy of document retrieval systems, with particular attention paid to the start of the ranked list. Although it has done so in a few different ways in the past, budget realities limited the track to “clarification forms” this year. The question investiga...

The High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents (HARD) track explores methods of improving the accuracy of document retrieval systems. As part of this track, the participants have investigated how information about a searcher’s context can be used to improve retrieval performance [Allan, 2003; Allan, 2004]. Searchers, referred to as assessors in this track, produce TREC-style search topics. Addition...

The Clairvoyance team participated in the High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents (HARD) Track of TREC 2004, submitting three runs. The principal hypothesis we have been pursuing is that small numbers of documents in clusters can provide a better basis for relevance feedback than ranked lists or, alternatively, than top-N pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF). Clustering of a query response can yield ...
متن کاملHARD Track Overview in TREC 2003 High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents
The effectiveness of ad-hoc retrieval systems appears to have reached a plateau. After several years of 10% gains every year in TREC, improvements dwindled or even stopped. This lack of progress was undoubtedly one of the reasons behind abandoning suspending the ad-hoc TREC after TREC-9. One plausible reason that document retrieval has been unable to improve is that the nature of the task requi...
