Tarragon Consulting at TREC 2017: Common Core Track

Richard M. Tong
2017 Text Retrieval Conference  
Tarragon Consulting Corporation (henceforth Tarragon) contributed two runs to the new Common Core track. Both were manual runs using the NIST judged topics. Both used Solr as the base search engine with the queries semi-automatically constructed from the Topic descriptions and augmented with information from Wordnet and Wikipedia. Results are generally below the published median scores but for several topics our results are very competitive. And we did contribute a significant number of "unique relevant" documents to the judged pool.
