Melbourne University 2004: Terabyte and Web Tracks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The University of Melbourne carried out experiments in the Terabyte and Web tracks of TREC 2004. We applied a further variant of our impact-based retrieval approach by integrating evidence from text content, anchor text, URL depth, and link structure into the process of ranking documents, working toward a retrieval system that handles equally well all of the four query types employed in these two tracks. That is, we sought to avoid special techniques, and did not apply any explicit or implicit query classifiers. The system was designed to be scalable and efficient.

This report describes the work done at The University of Melbourne for the TREC2005 Enterprise and Terabyte Tracks. In the Enterprise Track, we participated in the Discussion Task. We tried a number of different methods to make use of special features of mailing lists to improve retrieval effectiveness, and found the use of thread context to be promising. In the Terabyte Track, we continued our...

With our participation in TREC2004, we test Terrier, a modular and scalable Information Retrieval framework, in three tracks. For the mixed query task of the Web track, we employ a decision mechanism for selecting appropriate retrieval approaches on a per-query basis. For the robust track, in order to cope with the poorlyperforming queries, we use two pre-retrieval performance predictors and a ...

With our participation in TREC 2005, we continue experiments using Terrier, a modular and scalable Information Retrieval (IR) framework, in 4 tasks from the Terabyte and Enterprise tracks. In the Terabyte track, we investigate new Divergence From Randomness weighting models, and a novel query expansion approach that can take into account various Web evidence, namely content, title and anchor te...
