The Garnata Information Retrieval System at INEX’07

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4862))

Abstract

This paper exposes the results of our participation at INEX’07 in the AdHoc track and the comparison of these results with respect to the ones obtained last year. Three runs were submitted to each of the Focused, Relevant In Context and Best In Context tasks, all of them obtained with Garnata, our Information Retrieval System for structured documents. As in the past year, we use a model based on Influence Diagrams, the CID model. The result of our participation has been better than the last year and we have reached an acceptable position in the ranking for the three tasks. In the paper we describe the model, the system and we show the differences between our systems at INEX’06 and INEX’07, which make possible to get a better performance.
