The proposed approach consists of reranking the set of documents returned for a given query by considering three sources of evidence namely, the relevance scores w.r.t query of a document neighbours, the text of the anchor links, and the document title tag. Our approach is evaluated on INEX 2006 collection. The results showed significant improvements of the retrieval performances.
