Overview of the TREC 2010 Session Track

University of Essex at the TREC 2010 Session Track

This paper provides an overview of the experiments we carried out at the TREC 2010 Session Track. We propose an approach for interpreting reformulated queries by using query expansions derived from anchor logs which we envisage to be a potential alternative to query logs. We show that expansion with terms or phrases extracted from anchor logs improves the retrieval performance over a search ses...

Autoadapt at the Session track in TREC 2010

This paper provides an overview of the experiments we carried out at the TREC 2010 Session Track. We propose an approach for interpreting reformulated queries by using query expansions derived from simulated query logs. We show that this approach can improve the retrieval performance over a baseline system.

Session Track Overview∗

Research in Information Retrieval has traditionally focused on serving the best results for a single query. In practice however users often enter queries in sessions of reformulations. The Sessions Track at TREC 2010 implements an initial experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of retrieval systems over single query reformulations.

Overview of the TREC 2013 Session Track

The TREC Session track ran for the fourth time in 2013. The track has the primary goal of providing test collections and evaluation measures for studying information retrieval over user sessions rather than one-time queries. These test collections are meant to be portable, reusable, statistically powerful, and open to anyone that wishes to work on the problem of retrieval over sessions. The exp...
