Abstract
Use of XML offers a structured approach for representing information while maintaining separation of form and content. XML information retrieval is different from standard text retrieval in two aspects: the XML structure may be of interest as part of the query; and the information does not have to be text. In this paper, we describe an investigation of approaches to retrieve text and images from a large collection of XML documents, performed in the course of our participation in the INEX 2006 Ad Hoc and Multimedia tracks. We evaluate three information retrieval similarity measures: Pivoted Cosine, Okapi BM25 and Dirichlet. We show that on the INEX 2006 Ad Hoc queries Okapi BM25 is the most effective among the three similarity measures used for retrieving text only, while Dirichlet is more suitable when retrieving heterogeneous (text and image) data.
