2003
Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum
Preserved Fulltext
The index words can be stored as such (inflected index), or normalized. The most common normalizing method in IR is stemming. ...
University of Tampere used the raw score approach as the baseline in the CLEF 2003 runs and tested two new merging approaches. No remarkable differences were found between the merging methods. ...

The results show that the normalizedby-top-k merging with translation penalty and collection weight outperforms the other merging strategies except the raw-score merging. ...
We introduced three factors affecting the retrieval effectiveness, i.e., the degree of translation ambiguity, the number of unknown words and the number of relevant documents in a collection for a given ...
The performances of our merging strategies were better than normalized-score merging and round-robin merging, but were worse than raw-score merging in single IR system environment. ...

Trivial merging strategies, such as raw-score merging or roundrobin techniques, provide reasonable results on the CLEF testbed, due to the balanced amount of relevant information across languages. ...

This approach, which we call 2-step RSV (RSV: Retrieval Status Value), is based on the re-indexing of the retrieval documents according to the query vocabulary, and it performs noticeably better than traditional ...
After searching in these corpora and obtaining a result list per language, we must merge them in order to provide a single list of retrieved articles. ...
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Firstly, we present a brief revision of the most well-used methods for merging strategies. Section 3 and 4 describe our proposed method. ...

The number of feedback documents and words were tuned for each language.
Merging strategies We examined two simple merging strategies: normalizing the individual scores and two step RSV [7] . ...
