MediaLab at CLEF-2003: Using Keyword Disambiguation
نویسنده
چکیده
This report describes the participation of MediaLab BV in the CLEF-2003 evaluations. This year we participated in the monolingual Dutch task, experimenting with a keyword disambiguation tool. MediaLab developed this tool to exploit human assigned keywords in the search engine in a better way than just blind searching with the keywords themselves. Although this tool was not planned to be used for CLEF-like applications it was fun to check if it could help boosting the search quality.

متن کاملTwo-Stage Refinement of Transitive Query Translation with English Disambiguation for Cross-Language Information Retrieval: A Trial at CLEF 2004
This paper reports experimental results of cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) from German to French. The authors are concerned with CLIR in cases where available language resources are very limited. Thus transitive translation of queries using English as a pivot language was used to search French document collections for German queries without any direct bilingual dictionary or MT syst...

This paper presents the participation of the semantic N-levels search engine SENSE at the CLEF 2009 Ad Hoc Robust-WSD Task. During the participation at the same task of CLEF 2008, SENSE showed that WSD can be helpful to improve retrieval, even though the overall performance was not exciting mainly due to the adoption of a pure Vector Space Model with no heuristics. In this edition, our aim is t...
