Evaluation of Query Formulations in the Negotiated Query Refinement Process of Legal e-Discovery: UMKC at TREC 2007 Legal Track
نویسندگان
چکیده
UMKC participated in the 2007 legal track. Our experiments focused mainly on evaluating the different query formulations in the negotiated query refinement process of legal e-discovery. For our study, we considered three sets of paired runs in vector space model and language model respectively. Our experiments indicated that although the Boolean query negotiating process was successful for the standard Boolean retrieval model, it did not make statistically significant query improvements in our ranked systems. This result provided us an insight into the query negotiation process and a new direction to refine queries.

Experiments with the Negotiated Boolean Queries of the TREC 2007 Legal Discovery Track
We analyze the results of several experimental runs submitted for the TREC 2007 Legal Track (also sometimes known as the Legal Discovery Track). We submitted 4 boolean query runs (the initial proposal by the defendant, the rejoinder by the plaintiff, the final negotiated query, and a variation of the final query which had proximity distances doubled). We submitted 2 vector query runs (one based...
متن کاملExperiments with Query Expansion at TREC 2006 Legal Track
This paper describes the UMKC TREC 2006 Legal Track experiments. We focus on a single technique that uses cooccurrence based thesaurus to expand queries. Our results indicate this technique is effective even towards the enormous vocabulary size in the IIT CDIP collection.

We analyze the results of several experimental runs submitted to the Legal Discovery and Terabyte Tracks of TREC 2006. In the Legal Track, the final negotiated boolean queries produced higher mean scores in average precision and Precision@10 than a corresponding vector run of the same query terms, but the vector run usually recalled more relevant items by rank 5000, and on average the boolean q...

For the TREC 2009, the team from University at Buffalo, the State University of New York participated in the Legal E-Discovery track, working on the interactive search task. We explored indexing and searching at both the record level and the document level with the Enron email collection. We studied the usefulness of fielded search and document presentation features such as clustering documents...

In this paper, we document our official submissions to the TREC 2007 Legal track. Our main aims were two-fold: First, we experimented with using different query formulations trying to exploit the verbose topic statements. Second, we analysed how ranked retrieval methods can be fruitfully combined with traditional Boolean queries. Our main findings can be summarized as follows. First, we got mix...
