Title
Data Fusion of Machine-Learning Methods for the TREC5 Routing Task (and other work)
Abstract
The goal of the document routing task is to extrapolate from documents judged relevant or ir- relevant for each of a set of topics accurate procedures for a ssessing the relevance of future documents for each topic. Rather than viewing different approaches to this problem as "winner- takes-all" competitors, we view them as potentially comple mentary methods, each exploiting different sources of information. This paper describes two quite different machine-learning ap- proaches to the document routing task, and two approaches to combining their results to per- form relevance assessments on new documents. We also describe an approach to the the con- fusion task based on n-grams that allow approximate matches.
