Combining Recency and Topic-Dependent Temporal Variation for Microblog Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
The appearance of microblogging services has led to many short documents being issued by crowds of people. To retrieve useful information from among such a huge quantity of messages, query expansion (QE) is usually used to enrich a user query. Some QE methods for microblog search utilize temporal properties (e.g., recency and temporal variation) derived from the real-time characteristic that many messages are posted by users when an interesting event has recently occurred. Our approach leverages temporal properties for QE and combines them according to the temporal variation of a given topic. Experimental results show that this QE method using automatically combined temporal properties is effective at improving retrieval performance.

Query-Specific Recency Ranking: Survival Analysis for Improved Microblog Retrieval
We offer a preliminary application of survival analysis to the problem of ranking documents in a time-aware setting. Specifically, we focus on microblog retrieval where recency is often positively correlated with relevance. We propose a method of temporal retrieval based on estimation of an exponential distribution’s parameter by use of partial maximum likelihood.
متن کاملTime-Aware Latent Concept Expansion for Microblog Search
Incorporating the temporal property of words into query expansion methods based on relevance feedback has been shown to have a significant positive effect on microblog search. In contrast to such word-based query expansion methods, we propose a concept-based query expansion method based on a temporal relevance model that uses the temporal variation of concepts (e.g., terms and phrases) on micro...

The aim of GUCAS’s participation in the Microblog track this year is to evaluate the effectiveness of probabilistic retrieval models in combination with various sources of evidence for relevance in the context of the Twitter corpus. In our official runs, we use the PL2F field-based model as the baseline, on top of which query expansion is also applied. In addition, a supplement model combining ...

متن کاملNovaSearch at TREC 2013 Microblog Track: Experiments with reranking using Wikipedia
Users engaged in microblogging services and social-media apps contribute to multiple real-time text streams which amass large volumes of messages often sparked by events reported in newswire and in other media. We explore the use of external sources to detect topic popularity surges and improve microblog search performance using timebased language models [3]. The major novelty concerns the anal...
