Abstract
This paper reports briefly on the final results of experiments to produce competitive (i.e., highly ranked) focused elements in response to the various tasks of the INEX 2010 Ad Hoc Track. These experiments are based on an entirely new analysis and indexing of the INEX 2009 Wikipedia collection. Using this indexing and our basic methodology for dynamic element retrieval [5, 6], described herein, yields highly competitive results for all the tasks involved. This is important because our approach to snippet retrieval is based on the conviction that good snippets can be generated from good focused elements. Our work to date in snippet generation is described; this early work ranked 9th in the official results.
