This paper describes UNED NLP & IR Group experiments at the Web CLEF track. The UNED NLP & IR Group took part in the bilingual English-Spanish task. Our main attempt is to improve query translation by means of a non supervised approach to the translation of out-of-vocabulary words. Indexing is made preserving the information about the most relevant structural elements (title, metadata, headings...

XML information retrieval (XML-IR) systems aim to provide users with highly exhaustive and highly specific results. To interact with XML-IR systems users must express both their content and structural needs in the form of a structured query. Historically, these structured queries have been formatted using formal languages such as XPath or NEXI. Unfortunately, formal query languages are very com...

The Third Meeting of the Federation of European Societies of Neuropsychology (ESN) took place at the Congress Centre in Basel, Switzerland, from 7–9 September 2011. The theme of this meeting, which assembled more than 400 clinicians and researchers from many European countries as well as from North America, Asia and Australia, was ‘Neuropsychology across the Lifespan’. This theme gave the oppor...

AnswerFinder has been completely redesigned for TREC 2005. The new architecture allows a fast development of question-answering systems for their deployment in the TREC tasks and other applications. The AnswerFinder modules use XML to express the services they provide, and they can be queried with XML for their services. The QA method now incorporates graphbased methods to compute the answerhoo...

This paper describes the experiments of the OOO Datapark in TREC2005. We participated in the Genomics track and submitted official runs to the Adhoc retrieval task. Our goal is to compare two methods of relevance calculation uses in the DataparkSearch Engine.

This paper describes the three TREC tasks we participated in this year, which are, Genomics track’s categorization task and ad hoc task, and Enterprise track’s known item search task. For the categorization task, we adopt a domain-specific terms extraction method and an ontology-based method for feature selection. A SVM classifier and a Rocchio based two staged classifier were also used in this...

Combined laboratory and field research examining the possible alterations caused by herbicide treatments applied to construction materials (schist some granite, bound with mortar) in Roman wall of Lugo (NW Spain), declared a World Heritage site UNESCO 2000, was performed three separate studies past 20 years. In summers 1998 1999, herbicides glyphosate, sulphosate glufosinate–ammonium, as well p...

the effect of gibberellic acid (ga3) on jerusalem cherry (solanum pseudocapsicum l.) was evaluated at pot cultivation conditions. this study was performed in factorial test based on complete random design plan and 4 repeats with 12 treatments. the main factor was included spraying, drip and spraying + drip. secondary factor was included concentrations of ga3 at 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg.l-1 levels...
