Abstract

Document-level information retrieval can unfortunately lead to highly inaccurate relevance ranking in answering object-oriented queries. A paradigm is proposed to enable searching at the object level. However, this reliability assumption is no longer valid in the object retrieval context when multiple copies of information about the same object typically exist. To resolve multiple copies inconsistent issue, we propose several language models for Web object retrieval, namely an unstructured object retrieval model, a structured object retrieval model, and a hybrid model with both structured and unstructured retrieval features. We test these models on a paper search engine and compare their performances. We conclude that the hybrid model is the superior by taking into account the extraction errors at varying levels.
