Abstract

In this paper, we propose a document reranking method for Chinese information retrieval. The method is based on a term weighting scheme, which integrates local and global distribution of terms as well as document frequency, document positions and term length. The weight scheme allows randomly setting a larger portion of the retrieved documents as relevance feedback, and lifts off the worry that very fewer relevant documents appear in top retrieved documents. It also helps to improve the performance of maximal marginal relevance (MMR) in document reranking. The method was evaluated by MAP (mean average precision), a recall-oriented measure. Significance tests showed that our method can get significant improvement against standard baselines, and outperform relevant methods consistently.
