TL;DR
This research aims at investigating in detail the role of syntactic analysis in IR and at finding answers to the question why it works better for some queries and worse for others, and developing a hybrid algorithm that selectively applies syntacticAnalysis to certain classes of queries while relying on standard statistical techniques otherwise.
Abstract
Up to now, the results of applying sophisticated NL techniques to information retrieval (IR) have been mostly disappointing. Our research aims at investigating in detail the role of syntactic analysis in IR and at finding answers to the question why it works better for some queries and worse for others. The final goal is a hybrid algorithm that selectively applies syntactic analysis to certain classes of queries while relying on standard statistical techniques otherwise.
