Abstract

In 2004, the INitiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval (INEX), in its third year of investigations into various aspects of theoretical and applied structured retrieval, added a Relevance Feedback (RF) Track. The purpose of this Track is to explore issues related to the use of relevance feedback in a structured environment. Because the interim between the receipt of relevance assessments by Workshop participants and the due date of their papers was relatively short, the amount of time available for experiments was limited. However, three groups reported early experiments: Mass and Mandelbrod (Relevance Feedback for XML Retrieval); Mihajlovic, Ramirez, de Vries, Hiemstra, and Blok (TIJAH at INEX 2004 Modeling Phrases and Relevance Feedback); and Crouch, Majahan and Bellamkonda (Flexible Retrieval Based on the Vector Space Model).
