We propose a method that integrates relevance and understandability to rank health web
documents. We use a learning to rank approach with standard retrieval features to
determine topical relevance and additional features based on readability measures and
medical lexical aspects to determine understandability. Our experiments measured the
effectiveness of the learning to rank approach integrating understandability on a consumer
health benchmark. The findings suggest that this approach promotes documents that are at …

We use a learning to rank approach with standard retrieval features to determine topical relevance and additional features based on readability measures and medical lexical aspects to determine understandability. Our experiments measured the effectiveness of the learning to rank approach integrating understandability on a consumer health benchmark. The findings suggest that this approach promotes documents that are at the same time topically relevant and understandable.
