Overview of The First Workshop on Knowledge Graphs and Semantics for Text Retrieval and Analysis (KG4IR)

26/02/2018 Blog Journal Papers Publications No Comments

Knowledge graphs have been used throughout the history of information retrieval for a variety of tasks. Advances in knowledge acquisition and alignment technology in the last few years have given rise to a body of new approaches for utilizing knowledge graphs in text retrieval tasks. This report presents the motivation,…

Dynamic query modeling for related content finding

06/08/2015 Blog Conference Papers Publications No Comments

While watching television, people increasingly consume additional content related to what they are watching. We consider the task of finding video content related to a live television broadcast for which we leverage the textual stream of subtitles associated with the broadcast. We model this task as a Markov decision process…

Hadoop code for TREC KBA

24/07/2012 Blog No Comments

I’ve decided to put some of the Hadoop code I developed for the TREC KBA task online. It’s available on Github: https://github.com/ejmeij/trec-kba. In particular, it provides classes to read/write topic files, read/write run files, and expose the documents in the Thrift files as Hadoop-readable objects (‘ThriftFileInputFormat’) to be used as input to mappers. I obviously also…

A Generative Language Modeling Approach for Ranking Entities

16/02/2009 Conference Papers Publications No Comments

We describe our participation in the INEX 2008 Entity Ranking track. We develop a generative language modeling approach for the entity ranking and list completion tasks. Our framework comprises the following components: (i) entity and (ii) query language models, (iii) entity prior, (iv) the probability of an entity for a…
