Abstract

This is the first year that the MultiText Group participated in INEX, submitting three runs for the content-only adhoc retrieval task. To generate these runs, we combined our existing experience and tools with the advice and ideas found in recent INEX papers [4,1] to engineer a solid system capable of performing the basic task in a reasonable fashion.
