Topic Difficulty Prediction in Entity Ranking
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper, we show that the knowledge of predicted classes of topic difficulty can be used to further improve the entity ranking performance. ...
Our experiments suggest that topic difficulty prediction is a promising approach that could be exploited to improve the effectiveness of entity ranking. ...

Estimating query difficulty for news prediction retrieval
2012
Proceedings of the 21st ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '12
In this paper, we study how to determine the difficulty in retrieving predictions for a given news story. ...
More precisely, we address the query difficulty estimation problem for news prediction retrieval. ...
Thus, we take into account prediction robustness by employing several ranking models (cf. Section 4) in determining the difficulty of a given query or topic. ...

Predicting the effectiveness of keyword queries on databases
2012
Proceedings of the 21st ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '12
Keyword query interfaces (KQIs) for databases provide easy access to data, but often suffer from low ranking quality, i.e. low precision and/or recall, as shown in recent benchmarks. ...
We evaluate our query difficulty prediction model against two relevance judgment benchmarks for keyword search on databases, INEX and SemSearch. ...
They compare the probability distribution of topics in the top ranked documents with the probability distribution of topics of the whole collection to predict the degree of the difficulty of the query. ...

Novel Approach for Predicting Difficult Keyword Queries over Databases using Effective Ranking
2015
International Journal of Engineering Research and
In the existing work, analyses the characteristics of hard queries and propose a novel framework to measure the degree of difficulty for a keyword query in excess of a database, considering both the structure ...
In order to overcome these drawbacks, we are proposing the improved ranking algorithm which is used to enhance the accuracy rate of the system. ...
Our proposed query difficulty prediction model falls in this category Some methods use machine learning techniques to learn the properties of difficult queries and predict their hardness. ...

Improved Neural Relation Detection for Knowledge Base Question Answering
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, we propose a hierarchical recurrent neural network enhanced by residual learning that detects KB relations given an input question. ...
Additionally, we propose a simple KBQA system that integrates entity linking and our proposed relation detector to enable one enhance another. ...
Sections 5.1 and 5.2 elaborate how our relation detection help to re-rank entities in the initial entity linking, and then those re-ranked entities enable more accurate relation detection. ...

Capturing Global Informativeness in Open Domain Keyphrase Extraction
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Further analyses reveal the significant advantages of JointKPE in predicting long and non-entity keyphrases, which are challenging for previous neural KPE methods. ...
JointKPE learns to rank keyphrases by estimating their informativeness in the entire document and is jointly trained on the keyphrase chunking task to guarantee the phraseness of keyphrase candidates. ...
Despite the challenge, JointKPE and its informative ranking version (Rank) significantly outperform other methods in predicting non-entity keyphrases. ...

Predicting event-relatedness of popular queries
2013
Proceedings of the 22nd ACM international conference on Conference on information & knowledge management - CIKM '13
Our analysis shows that the number of named entities in search results and their appearances in Wikipedia are among the most discriminative features for query event-relatedness prediction. ...
In this paper, we identify 20 features including both contextual and temporal features from a small set of search results of a query and predict its event-relatedness. ...
Query clarity has been used to predict query difficulty and a large KL divergence indicates a clear and unambiguous query [2] . ...

THU QUANTA at TAC 2008 QA and RTE Track
2008
Text Analysis Conference
This paper describes the systems of THU QUANTA in Text Analysis Conference (TAC) 2008. We participated in the Question Answering (QA) track, and the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) track. ...
We detect the exact entity and relation mismatch to recognize the false entailment. The evaluation results show that the proposed approaches are very effective for the QA and RTE tasks. ...
If the time and date mismatch, we predict it is false entailment.
3) Location Mismatch For each location entity in H, if there is no corresponding entity in T, we predict it is false entailment. ...
