Abstract
Passage Retrieval is an alternative to traditional document-oriented Information Retrieval. These systems use contiguous text fragments (or passages), instead of full documents, as basic unit of information. IR-n system is a passage retrieval system that uses groups of contiguous sentences as unit of information. This paper reports on a new architecture for the IR-n system which obtained considerable good results at CLEF 2003.
