Abstract:

Introduction Okapi at TRECs 2 and 3 During TRECs 2 and 3 ffl the new term-weighting functions were developed and refined as described in [1, Section 3.2] ffl a method of runtime passage determination and searching was devised [1, Section 4]; ffl an inefficient but surprisingly effective way of choosing routing terms was developed [1, Section 6]); ffl and a reasonably effective way of automatically expanding ad hoc queries with terms from documents retrieved in a pilot search was developed [1, Section 5]. TREC--4 City have submitted interactive runs in all the previous TRECs, with fairly undistinguished results. This time the main emphasis has been on the development of an entirely new interactive ad hoc search system (Sections 3 and Appendix). On the non-interactive side routing term selection: there has been further work on methods of selecting routing terms;<F29.15
