Detecting verbose queries and improving information retrieval
作者：
Highlights：
• We consider query verbosity and query length two distinct query properties.
• We propose a methodology to automatically detect and process verbose queries.
• The methodology uses concept expansion and syntactic features for query modification.
• Experiments were carried out on a test collection built on TREC2004 Robust collection.
• Retrieval effectiveness can be significantly improved by considering query verbosity.
