A Baseline Interactive Retrieval Engine for the NTCIR-14 Lifelog-3 Semantic Access Task

This paper describes the work of DCU research team in collaboration with University of Science, Vietnam, and University of Bergen, Norway at the Lifelog task of NTCIR-14. In this paper, we describe a new baseline interactive retrieval engine based on faceted retrieval and the present the results of an initial experiment with four users. The interactive retrieval system we describe utilises the wide range of lifelog metadata provided by the task organisers to develop an extensive faceted retrieval system.
