Microsoft Cambridge at TREC-10: Filtering and Web Tracks

This report is concerned with the Adaptive Filtering and Web tracks. There are separate reports in this volume [1, 2] on the Microsoft Research Redmond participation in QA track and the Microsoft Research Beijing participation in the Web track.. Two runs were submitted for the Adaptive Filtering track, on the adaptive filtering task only (two optimisation measures), and several runs for the Web track, both tasks (adhoc and home page finding). The filtering system is somewhat similar to the one used for TREC–9; the web system is a simple Okapi system without blind feedback, but the document indexing includes anchor text from incoming links.
