Abstract We describe the participation of the University of Amsterdam’s Intelligent Systems Lab in the relevance feedback track at TREC 2009. Our main conclusion for the relevance feedback track is that a topical diversity approach provides good feedback documents. Further, we find that our relevance feedback algorithm seems to help most when there are sufficient relevant documents available.
