Abstract

This paper reports on experiments submitted for the robust task at CLEF 2006 ad intended to provide a baseline for other runs for the robust task. We applied a system previously tested for ad-hoc retrieval. Runs for monolingual English and French were submitted. Results on both training as well as test topics are reported. Only for French, positive results above 0.2 MAP were achieved.
