TL;DR
Evaluated representation methods for Chinese information retrieval show that 1-gram indexing is good but not sufficiently competitive, while bigram indexing works surprisingly well.

Text REtrieval ConferenceOkapi at TREC
2,229 Citations1994Stephen Robertson, Steve Walker +3 more
Much of the work involved investigating plausible methods of applying Okapi-style weighting to phrases, and expansion using terms from the top documents retrieved by a pilot search on topic terms was used.
A stochastic finite-state word-segmentation algorithm for Chinese
290 Citations1994Richard Sproat, William A. Gale +2 more
A stochastic finite-state model is presented for segmenting Chinese text into dictionary entries and productively derived words, and providing pronunciations for these words; the method incorporates a class-based model in its treatment of personal names.
Word identification for Mandarin Chinese sentences
183 Citations1992Keh-Jiann Chen, Shing-Huan Liu
This paper proposes a matching algorithm with 6 different heuristic rules to resolve the ambiguities of Chinese sentences and supports that the maximal matching algorithm is the most effective heuristics.
Overview of the fifth text REtrieval conference (TREC-5)
134 Citations1996Ellen M. Voorhees, Donna Harman
Presentation des objectifs, des methodes (la routing task, la tâche adhoc, la comparaison des differents systemes, les concepts de confusion, de filtrage, de multilinguisme, de traitement du langage naturel, evaluation de the pertinence), and des resultats issus des traitements manuels and automatiques des differentes equipes presentes a TREC-5.
The Effect of Adding Relevance Information in a Relevance Feedback Environment
102 Citations1994Chris Buckley, Gerard Salton +1 more
Recall-precision evaluation reveals that as the amount of expansion of the query due to adding terms from relevant documents increases, so does the effectiveness, and there appears to be a linear relationship between the log of the number of terms added and the recall- Precision effectiveness.
ACM Transactions on Information SystemsA network approach to probabilistic information retrieval
90 Citations1995K. L. Kwok
How probabilistic information retrieval based on document components may be implemented as a feedforward (feedbackward) artificial neural network is shown and performance of feedback improves substantially over no feedback, and further gains are obtained when queries are expanded with terms from the feedback documents.

72 Citations1996James Allan, James P. Callan +5 more
L'equipe de l'universite du Massachusetts a explore trois techniques de traitement de question : le traitement of the question de base, le traduction de la question centrale ( concept cle), l'analyse du contexte local.
Text REtrieval ConferenceUsing Query Zoning and Correlation Within SMART: TREC 5.
64 Citations1996Chris Buckley, Amit Singhal +1 more
The major focus this year is on zoning different parts of an initial retrieval ranking, and treating each type of query zone differently as processing continues, as well as experiment with dynamic phrasing.
Journal of the American Society for Information ScienceACTS: An automatic Chinese text segmentation system for full text retrieval
53 Citations1995Zimin Wu, Gwyneth Tseng
ACTS is an automatic Chinese text segmentation proto-type for Chinese full text retrieval that applies partial syntactic analysis—the analysis of morphemes, words, and phrases.
ACM Transactions on Information SystemsExperiments with a component theory of probabilistic information retrieval based on single terms as document components
53 Citations1990K. L. Kwok
A component theory of information retrieval using single content terms as component for queries and documents was reviewed and experimented with and performed substantially better than Croft's model because of the highly specific nature of document-focused feedback.
Fast and quasi-natural language search for gigabytes of Chinese texts
45 Citations1995Lee‐Feng Chien
The proposed approach is an integrated and efficient text access method, which performs well both in exact match searching of Boolean queries and best match searching (ranking) of quasi-natural language queries, which is capable of retrieving gigabytes of Chinese texts very efficiently and intelligently.
USe: A Retargetable Word Segmentation Procedure for Information Retrieval
37 Citations1996Jay Ponte
The experiments show that a fairly simple underlying model can produce reasonable segmentation results, can do so quickly enough to be useful for indexing in an information retrieval system and can be re-targeted to new languages without a great deal of human effort.
