Full text available as:  AbstractIn this paper we present a systematic analysis of document
retrieval using unstructured and structured queries within
the score region algebra (SRA) structured retrieval framework. The behavior of di®erent retrieval models, namely
Boolean, tf.idf, GPX, language models, and Okapi, is tested
using the transparent SRA framework in our three-level structured retrieval system called TIJAH. The retrieval models are implemented along four elementary retrieval aspects: element and term selection, element score computation, score combination, and score propagation.
The analysis is performed on a numerous experiments
evaluated on TREC and CLEF collections, using manually
generated unstructured and structured queries. Unstructured queries range from the short title queries to long title
+ description + narrative queries. For generating structured
queries we exploit the knowledge of the document structure
and the content used to semantically describe or classify
documents. We show that such structured information can
be utilized in retrieval engines to give more precise answers to user queries then when using unstructured queries. | Item Type: | Internal Report (Technical Report) |
