Query performance prediction for entity retrieval

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We address the query-performance-prediction task for entity retrieval; that is, retrieval effectiveness is estimated with no relevance judgements. First we show how to adapt state-of-the-art query-performance predictors proposed for document retrieval to the entity retrieval domain. We then present a novel predictor that is based on the cluster hypothesis. Evaluation performed with the INEX entity ranking track collections shows that our predictor can often out-perform the most effective predictors we experimented with.
