THUIR at NTCIR-10 INTENT-2 Task

This paper describes our approaches and results in NTCIR10 INTENT-2 task. In this year, we participate in subtasks for both the Chinese and English topics. We extract subtopics from multiple resources for these topics, and several subtopic clustering and re-ranking methods are proposed in this work. In Document Ranking subtask, we redefine the novelty of a document and use the new definition to re-rank the retrieved documents. Based on the existing diversification methods, we also try to selectively diversify the search results for the given queries, according to the query types determined by our strategies.
