Simple Match Retrieval

Spring 2001


due Saturday 27th January at midnight
  1. create simple word queries for your assigned natural language queries using as many of the words  from the original queries as you think useful
  2. use the ADIdoc.txt file as the corpus, the ADIqry.txt as the source for your queries, and the ADIrel.txt relevance judgments as the basis for calculating recall .
  3. carry out your queried by following the simple match procedure which ranks a document according to the number of times  word in the query matches some word in the document.
  4. find the recall and precision for your queries (try to get the best recall you can)
  5. report your results using the TURN IN PAGE for hwmrk 1
