Novel Approaches in Text Information Retrieval - Experiments in the Web Track of TREC 2004

: In this paper, we report our experiments in the mixed query task of the Web track for TREC 2004. We deal with the problem of ranking Web documents within a multicriteria framework and propose a novel approach for information retrieval. We focus on the design of a set of criteria aiming at capturing complementary aspects of relevance. Moreover, we provide aggregation procedures that are based on decision rules, to get the ranking of relevant documents.
