In TREC-8, we participated in automatic ad-hoc retrieval as well as the query and filtering tracks. ...
For filtering track, experiments for adaptive, batch filtering, and routing were performed. ...
Batch Filtering and Routing Retrieval 6.1 Pircs and genetic algorithms The TREC8 filtering and routing tasks were used as a testbed for our research in applying genetic algorithms learning [Gold89,Holl75 ...

Short queries in an ad-hoc retrieval environment are difftcult but unavoidable. ...
Experiments were performed using the TREC 5 and 6 environment. It is found that together these methods perform well for the difftcult TRECS topics, and also works for the TREC-6 very short topics. ...

The first Text REtrieval Conference (TREC-1) was held in early November 1992 and was attended by about 100 people working in the 25 participating groups. ...
There was a large variety of retieval techniques reported oz including methods using automatic thesattrii, sophisticated term weighting, natural language techniques, relevance feedback and advanced pattern ...
Two types of retrieval are being examined --retrieval using an "ad-hoc" query such as a researcher might use in a library environment, and retrieval using a "routing" query such as a profile to filter ...

The retrieval collection is the approximately 170 MB TREC-5 Chinese corpus of news articles, and 28 queries that are long and rich in wordings. ...
Three representation methods are empirically investigated for Chinese information retrieval: 1-gram (single character), bigram (two contiguous overlapping characters), and short-word indexing based on ...
Conclusion Within the TREC-5 Chinese retrieval environment using our PIRCS engine and where the queries are long and rich, bigram indexing is effective and performs as well as short-word indexing. ...

In monolingual Chinese QA, questions are classified based on cue-word and meta-keyword usage patterns. Retrieval is done using sentence units, and indexing is based on bigrams and characters. ...
Entities extracted from retrieved sentences form a pool of answer candidates which are ranked using five evidence factors. ...
Conclusion We performed monolingual Chinese factoid QA experiments using only entity extraction software with our PIRCS retrieval and ad hoc answer ranking formulae and parameters. ...
