Abstract
The increasing amount of available XML documents collections has led to the emergence of new challenges in information retrieval field. Therefore, multiple sources of evidence were used to retrieve XML elements at different levels of granularity. XML information retrieval combines textual and structural information to perform different information retrieval tasks. In this paper, we propose a new approach exploiting link evidence to re-rank XML retrieval results. Our approach, based on fuzzy logic concepts, combines both content and link evidence for all retrieved XML elements. The combination process generates a new ranked list from the initial returned list. Experiment based on INEX 2007 Wikipedia collection showed improvement of the interpolated precision values.
