Abstract

In the 2010 INEX Evaluation UC Berkeley participated only in the Book track, and specifically the "Best Books to Reference" task that seeks to produce a list of the "best books" for a topic. This year we wanted to compare our best performing method from last year with approaches that combine the scores obtained by ranking at the page level to arrive at the ranking for a book. We tested a number of combinations for this approach, and were able to obtain the top score for the "Best Books" task.
