Abstract

In this article we describe the Oslo University College’s participation in the INEX 2011 Book track. In 2010, the OUC submitted retrieval results for the “Prove It” task with traditional relevance detection combined with some rudimental detection of confirmation. In line with our belief that proving or refuting facts are different semantic aware actions of speech, we have this year attempted to incorporate some rudimentary semantic support based on the WordNet database.
