An Empirical Study of Some Selected IR Models for Bengali Monolingual Information Retrieval
This is an incremental study applying existing IR methods to Bengali data, addressing information retrieval for Bengali language users.
The paper evaluated TF-IDF and Okapi BM25 models for Bengali monolingual information retrieval, testing them on FIRE datasets from 2008 to 2012 and reporting the results.
This paper presents an evaluation and an analysis of some selected information retrieval models for Bengali monolingual information retrieval task. Two models, TF-IDF model and the Okapi BM25 model have been considered for our study. The developed IR models are tested on FIRE ad hoc retrieval data sets released for different years from 2008 to 2012 and the obtained results have been reported in this paper.
