Word sense discrimination in information retrieval: A spectral clustering-based approach

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new unsupervised method that uses word sense discrimination in IR.

• The re-ranking method is based on spectral clustering.

• The effectiveness over queries with ambiguous terms is proved on TREC corpora.

• Our interest regards improving the precision after 5, 10 and 30 retrieved documents.

• The method improves results for queries with poor baseline performance.
