Title
MMIS at GeoCLEF 2008: Experiments in GIR
Abstract
In this paper we present our Geographic Information Retrieval System, Forostar, and the results of three experiments. We compare two data fusion methods, and show that a simple geographic filter outperforms a penalty based system. We compare context based disambigua- tion to a default gazetteer and show no significant dierence. Finally we compare a unique geographic index to an ambiguous geographic index. The ambiguous index outperformed all other methods and was statistically significantly better than the baseline.
