Tie-breaker: A New Perspective of Ranking and Evaluation for Microblog Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microblog retrieval is the key tool that enables users to access the relevant information from the enormous tweets posted on social media. Due to the differences of the tweets and traditional documents, existing IR models might not be the optimal choice for this problem. In this paper, we aim to introduce a new idea, i.e., tie-breaking, and discuss its implication in ranking methods and evaluation measures for microblog retrieval.

An Exploration of Tie-Breaking for Microblog Retrieval
Microblog retrieval enables users to access relevant information from the huge number of tweets posted on social media. Since tweets are different from traditional documents, existing IR models might not be the optimal choice for this problem. Tie-breaking has been recently proposed as a new way of combining multiple retrieval signals. In this paper, we focus on studying the potential of this a...
متن کاملLate Data Fusion for Microblog Search
The character of microblog environments raises challenges for microblog search because relevancy becomes one of the many aspects for ranking documents. We concentrate on merging multiple ranking strategies at postretrieval time for the TREC Microblog task. We compare several state-of-the-art late data fusion methods, and present a new semi-supervised variant that accounts for microblog characte...
متن کاملQuery-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 کاملConcept Based Tie-breaking and Maximal Marginal Relevance Retrieval in Microblog Retrieval
There are enormous tweets posted on any given day, and the number keeps increasing. As a result, the needs of effectively retrieving tweets depending upon user’s information need, and summarizing tweets pertaining to a given topic have become increasingly important. In this paper, Wikipedia concepts [1] was introduced in tie-breaking to perform ad-hoc microblog retrieval. The Maximal Marginal R...
متن کاملHashing as Tie-Aware Learning to Rank
We formulate the problem of supervised hashing, or learning binary embeddings of data, as a learning to rank problem. Specifically, we optimize two common rankingbased evaluation metrics, Average Precision (AP) and Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG). Observing that ranking with the discrete Hamming distance naturally results in ties, we propose to use tie-aware versions of ranking met...
