Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of context to better identify relevant elements in XML retrieval. Context is represented here by clues on whole document relevance. We represent context according to different points of view: by introducing document dimension while computing terms weights, by using document relevance when evaluating elements relevance or by ranking elements on document relevance. Experiments were undertaken on INEX collection, and results showed the interest of contextual relevance and a relative high precision of our proposal comparing to INEX official results.
