ABSTRACT
XML retrieval provides a focused access to the relevant content of documents. However, in evaluation, full document retrieval has appeared competitive to focused XML retrieval. We analyze the density of relevance in documents, and show that in sparsely relevant documents focused retrieval performs better, whereas in densely relevant documents the performance of focused and document retrieval is equal.

Locating relevant text within XML documents
SIGIR '08: Proceedings of the 31st annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrievalTraditional document retrieval has shown to be a competitive approach in XML element retrieval, which is counter-intuitive since the element retrieval task requests all and only relevant document parts to be retrieved. This paper conducts a comparative ...
Model for simulating result document browsing in focused retrieval
IIIX '12: Proceedings of the 4th Information Interaction in Context SymposiumA search process is a ternary relationship between the user, the retrieval system and the user interface. A focused retrieval system aims at retrieving the most relevant parts within a relevant document. In focused retrieval the user interface may show ...
Evaluating relevant in context: document retrieval with a twist
SIGIR '07: Proceedings of the 30th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrievalThe Relevant in Context retrieval task is document or article retrieval with a twist, where not only the relevant articles should be retrieved but also the relevant information within each article (captured by a set of XML elements) should be correctly ...
