Abstract

Our submission to the INEX 2006 Ad-hoc retrieval track is described. We study how to utilize the Wikipedia structure (XML documents with hyperlinks) by combining XML and Web retrieval. In particular, we experiment with different combinations of language models and the HITS algorithm. An important feature of our techniques is a filtering phase that identifies the relevant part of the corpus, prior to the processing of the actual XML elements. We analyze the effect of the above techniques based on the results of our runs in INEX 2006.
