Abstract
This paper describes the work that we did at Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad towards Snippet Retrieval for INEX 2011. During official submissions, we pre-processed the XML-ified Wikipedia collection to a simplified txt-only version. This collection and the reference document run were used as inputs to a simple Snippet Retrieval system that we developed. We submitted 3 runs to INEX 2011. Post submission we apply a passage retrieval technique based on a Language Modelling approach for snippet retrieval. The performance of our submissions at the INEX SR task was moderate, but promising enough for further exploration.
