Applying Query Expansion Techniques to Ad Hoc Monolingual tasks with the IR-n system
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes our participation in Monolingual tasks at CLEF 2007. We submitted results for the following languages: Hungarian, Bulgarian and Czech. We focused on studying different query expansion techniques: Probabilistic Relevance Feedback (PRF) and Mutual Information Relevance Feedback (MI-RF) to improve retrieval performance. After an analysis of our experiments and of the official results at CLEF 2007, we achieved considerably improved scores by using query expansion techniques for different languages (Hungarian, Bulgarian and Czech).

Blind relevance feedback constitutes a widely used technique to improve the performance of IR systems. Its result is directly influenced by the correct choice of the potentially qualified features used to expand the initial query. It is well known the power of noun phrases in the role of descriptors with high discriminatory and informative potential. This work presents a local analysis techniqu...

Following our previous participation in INEX 2008 Ad-hoc track, we continue to address both standard and focused retrieval tasks based on comprehensible language models and interactive query expansion (IQE). Query topics are expanded using an initial set of Multiword Terms (MWTs) selected from top n ranked documents. In this experiment, we extract MWTs from article titles, narrative field and a...
