The use of phrases and structured queries in information retrieval

Recommendations

Recognition and classification of noun phrases in queries for effective retrieval
CIKM '07: Proceedings of the sixteenth ACM conference on Conference on information and knowledge management

It has been shown that using phrases properly in the document retrieval leads to higher retrieval effectiveness. In this paper, we define four types of noun phrases and present an algorithm for recognizing these phrases in queries. The strengths of ...
Exact phrases in information retrieval for question answering
IRQA '08: Coling 2008: Proceedings of the 2nd workshop on Information Retrieval for Question Answering

Question answering (QA) is the task of finding a concise answer to a natural language question. The first stage of QA involves information retrieval. Therefore, performance of an information retrieval subsystem serves as an upper bound for the ...
Structured queries, language modeling, and relevance modeling in cross-language information retrieval
Special issue: Cross-language information retrieval

Two probabilistic approaches to cross-lingual retrieval are in wide use today, those based on probabilistic models of relevance, as exemplified by INQUERY, and those based on language modeling. INQUERY, as a query net model, allows the easy incorporation ...
