UPV at TREC Health Misinformation Track 2021 Ranking with SBERT and Quality Estimators
share
Health misinformation on search engines is a significant problem that could negatively affect individuals or public health. To mitigate the problem, TREC organizes a health misinformation track. This paper presents our submissions to this track. We use a BM25 and a domain-specific semantic search engine for retrieving initial documents. Later, we examine a health news schema for quality assessment and apply it to re-rank documents. We merge the scores from the different components by using reciprocal rank fusion. Finally, we discuss the results and conclude with future works.
