ISTI@TREC Microblog Track 2011: Exploring the Use of Hashtag Segmentation and Text Quality Ranking
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the first year of the TREC Micro Blog track, our participation has focused on building from scratch an IR system based on the Whoosh IR library. Though the design of our system (CipCipPy) is pretty standard it includes three ad-hoc solutions for the track: (i) a dedicated indexing function for hashtags that automatically recognizes the distinct words composing an hashtag, (ii) expansion of tweets based on the title of any referred Web page, and (iii) a tweet ranking function that ranks tweets in results by their content quality, which is compared against a reference corpus of Reuters news. In this preliminary paper we describe all the components of our system, and the efficacy scored by our runs. The CipCipPy system is available under a GPL license.

Realtime Ad Hoc Search in Twitter: Know-Center at TREC Microblog Track 2011
In this paper, we outline our experiments carried out at the TREC Microblog Track 2011. Our system is based on a plain text index extracted from Tweets crawled from twitter.com. This index has been used to retrieve candidate Tweets for the given topics. The resulting Tweets were post-processed and then analyzed using three different approaches: (i) a burst detection approach, (ii) a hashtag ana...

This paper describes our system for the Tweet Timeline Generation (TTG) task of the Microblog track, at the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) 2014. Intuitively, given a collection of microblog posts (i.e., tweets), and a keyword query Q, the goal is to generate a timeline of related tweets. Such a timeline consists of representative tweets, relevant to Q. In our system we employ query expansion ...

This paper describes the search system we developed for the inaugural TREC 2011 Microblog Track. Our system makes use of best-practice ranking techniques, including term, phrase, and proximity-based text matching via the Markov random field model, pseudo-relevance feedback using Latent Concept Expansion, and a feature-based ranking model that uses a simple, but effective learningto-rank model. ...

This paper briefly describes the Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) participation in the TREC 2011 Microblog track. The focus of our TREC submissions was on using a generative graphic model to perform query expansion. We trained a model that attempted to predict appropriate hashtags to expand tweets as well as queries. In essence, we used hashtags to represent latent topics in tweets.

In our first-ever appearance at TREC, we explore initial ideas on building an effective search tool over tweet stream as a participation in this year’s microblog track. Among those ideas are tweet expansion with short representation of terms that frequently co-occur with hashtags and URLs, and re-ranking based on statistics that estimate user popularity (using replies and mentions), tweet popul...
