Overview of the TREC 2009 Entity Track

چکیده
The goal of the entity track is to perform entity-oriented search tasks on the World Wide Web. Many user information needs would be better answered by specific entities instead of just any type of documents. The track defines entities as “typed search results”, “things”, represented by their homepages on the web. Searching for entities thus corresponds to ranking these homepages. The track thereby investigates a problem quite similar to the QA list task. In this pilot year, we limited the track’s scope to searches for instances of the organizations, people and product entity types.

This paper gives an overview of our work for the TREC 2010 Entity track. The goal of the TREC Entity track is to study entity-related searches on Web data, which has not been sufficiently addressed in prior research. For both the Related Entity Finding (REF) task and the Entity List Completion (ELC) task in this track, we propose a unified probabilistic framework by incorporating the matching b...

This paper gives an overview of our work done for the TREC 2009 Entity track. We propose a hierarchical relevance retrieval model for entity ranking. In this model, three levels of relevance are examined which are document, passage and entity, respectively. The final ranking score is a linear combination of the relevance scores from the three levels. Furthermore, we exploit the structure of tab...
متن کاملExperiments on Related Entity Finding Track at TREC 2009
Our goal in participating in the TREC 2009 Entity Track is to study whether QA list technique can help improve accuracy of the entity finding task. Also, we take a looking for homepage finding to identify homepages of an entity by training a maximum entropy classifier and a logistic regression models for three types of entity respectively.
