Highlighting Relevant Passages for Users of the Interactive SPIDER Retrieval System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here on our participation in the 1995 Text Retrieval (TREC 4) conference. This was limited to participation in the interactive searching task due to a re-implementation of our SPIDER retrieval system. We report on two aspects of the SPIDER system that are particularly useful for interactive searching, namely the use of fast query evaluation, and the use of passage highlighting in presenting retrieved documents to users. We also report on the lessons learned from observing people interact with our system and note the challenge faced by researchers wishing to evaluate the interactive use of information retrieval systems.

Passage-based query refinement (MultiText experiments for TREC-6)
The MultiText information retrieval system nds passages of text, as opposed to complete documents, that are likely relevant to a particular topic. Passage retrieval provides the basis for the relevance ranking, term expansion, interactive user interface, and distributed searching used in the MultiText experiments for TREC-6. The essence of relevance ranking is that shorter passages containing a...

iCLEF 2004 is the first comparative evaluation of interactive Cross-Language Question Answering systems. The UNED group has participated in this task comparing two strategies to help users in the answer finding task: the baseline system is just a standard document retrieval engine searching machine-translated versions of the documents; the contrastive system is identical, but searching passages...
