Abstract

Syntactic and semantic ambiguity affect the text retrieval task as each type of ambiguity influences precision and/or recall. In this work we provide an experimental study on the effect of several ambiguity types in IR, by resolving each ambiguity type separately and adding respective annotations in the indexed text. We focus on five small text retrieval collections.
