چکیده

The TREC Dynamic Domain search task addresses search scenarios where users engage interactively with search systems to tackle domain specific information needs. In our participation, we focused on utilizing passage-based representations in document retrieval and user feedback processing. In addition, we submitted a baseline retrieval method and a manual run that considers only relevant documents in the top 1000 retrieved documents. Results show that the passage based representation is inferior to the baseline method but differences are not statistically significant in terms of the Cube Test and the Average Cube Test metrics.

RMIT University at TREC 2008: Relevance Feedback Track

This report outlines TREC-2008 Relevance Feedback Track experiments done at RMIT University. Relevance feedback in text retrieval systems is a process where a user gives explicit feedback on an initial set of retrieval results returned by a search system. For example, the user might mark some of the items as being relevant, or not relevant, to their current information need. This feedback can b...

RMIT at the TREC 2016 LiveQA Track

This paper describes the four systems RMIT fielded for the TREC 2015 LiveQA task and the associated experiments. The challenge results show that the base run RMIT-0 has achieved an above-average performance, but other attempted improvements have all resulted in decreased retrieval effectiveness.

Task-Specific Query Expansion (MultiText Experiments for TREC 2003)

I. INTRODUCTION For TREC 2003 the MultiText Project focused its efforts on the Genomics and Robust tracks. We also submitted passage-retrieval runs for the QA track. For the Genomics Track primary task, we used an amalgamation of retrieval and query expansion techniques, including tiering, term rewriting and pseudo-relevance feedback. For the Robust Track, we examined the impact of pseudo-relev...

TREC 2015 Dynamic Domain Track Overview

Search tasks for professional searchers, such as law enforcement agen-cies, police officers, and patent examiners, are often more complex thanopen domain Web search tasks. When professional searchers look for rele-vant information, it is often the case that they need to go through multipleiterations of searches to interact with a system. The Dynamic DomainTrack supports rese...

Expanding Queries Using Stems and Symbols

This paper describes the experiments conducted in the ad-hoc retrieval task of the Genomic track at TREC 2004. Different query expansion techniques based on the addition of keyword stems and of genomic product symbols selected by relevance feedback were studied. Stemming was tested using a mutual reinforcement process for building a domain-specific stemmer. Relevance feedback was tested using a...
