• Title: Event-Driven Query Expansion
• Authors: Guy D. Rosin, Ido Guy, Kira Radinsky
• Abstract summary: We propose a method to expand an event-related query by first detecting the events related to it. We derive the candidates for expansion as terms semantically related to both the query and the events. We show that our proposed method of leveraging events improves query expansion performance significantly compared with state-of-the-art methods on various newswire TREC datasets.

• Abstract: A significant number of event-related queries are issued in Web search. In this paper, we seek to improve retrieval performance by leveraging events and specifically target the classic task of query expansion. We propose a method to expand an event-related query by first detecting the events related to it. Then, we derive the candidates for expansion as terms semantically related to both the query and the events. To identify the candidates, we utilize a novel mechanism to simultaneously embed words and events in the same vector space. We show that our proposed method of leveraging events improves query expansion performance significantly compared with state-of-the-art methods on various newswire TREC datasets.

  This paper introduces the Ongoing Event Detection (OED) task. The goal is to detect ongoing event mentions only, as opposed to historical, future, hypothetical, or other forms or events that are neither fresh nor current. Any application that needs to extract structured information about ongoing events from unstructured texts can take advantage of an OED system.
