12 #weight( 0 Where 0 will 0 the 1 NTCIR-8 0 conference 0 be 1 hold 0 on?) 6/16/2010 Inner Mongolia University 12

13 Weighting Biography & Definition -> no weighting Relationship -> weighting according to the collection frequency of the two objects in the question. Other types -> increase the weights of the most important two key words.

14 Basic Approaches Query Formulation Question classification Weighting Query expansion Results Combination 6/16/2010 Inner Mongolia University 14

15 Query expansion Vocabulary mismatch between documents and user's query Type specific Query expansion BIOGRAPHY, DEFINITION and EVENT -> Baidu Baike Others -> Wan Fang 6/16/2010 Inner Mongolia University 15

26 Re-rank algorithm Description: This algorithm is designed to implement the document re-rank task according to the returned document lists from three indexes mentioned above. (1)score normalize: For each returned document list from above three indexes For each Di in the returned document list Score normalize(di); (2)compute score: For each Di appeared in one of the returned document list Score interpolating(di); (3)sort documents: Sort(score list);
