Edinburgh-Stanford TREC-2003 Genomics Track
We describe our participation in both tasks in the 2003 TREC Genomics track. For the primary task we concentrated mainly upon query expansion and species-specific document searching. An analysis of the variance of possible retrieval results suggested that the official TREC-supplied test set is only a crude approximation of the true system performance. The secondary task we treated as an extraction problem, using a maximum entropy scorer trained on GeneRIF sentences as positives and other sentences as negatives. While our results were not always equivalent to the actual GeneRIFs, on biological grounds many of them appeared better descriptors than the GeneRIFs themselves.
