ABSTRACT
Proximity-aware scoring functions lead to significant effectiveness improvements for text retrieval. For XML IR, we can sometimes enhance the retrieval quality by exploiting knowledge about the document structure combined with established text IR methods. This paper introduces modified proximity scores that take the document structure into account and demonstrates the effect for the INEX benchmark.

Sound and complete relevance assessment for XML retrieval
In information retrieval research, comparing retrieval approaches requires test collections consisting of documents, user requests and relevance assessments. Obtaining relevance assessments that are as sound and complete as possible is crucial for the ...
XML retrieval: what about using contextual relevance?
SAC '06: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM symposium on Applied computingThe aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of context to better identify relevant elements in XML retrieval. Context is represented here by clues on whole document relevance. We represent context according to different points of view: by ...
