Resumo:CLEF 2018 eHealth Consumer Health Search task aims to investigate the effectiveness of the information retrieval systems in providing health information to common health consumers. Compared to previous years, this year’s task includes five subtasks and adopts new data corpus and set of queries. This paper presents the work of University of Evora participating in two subtasks: IRtask-1 and IRtask-2. It explores the use of learning to rank techniques as well as query expan- sion approaches. A number of field based features are used for training a learning to rank model and a medical concept model proposed in previous work is re-employed for this year’s new task. Word vectors and UMLS are used as query expansion sources. Four runs were submitted to each task accordingly.
