The paper reports on experiments aimed at incorporating style-dependent parameters into ranking schemata in information retrieval tasks. We use ROMIP Web collection and ROMIP-2003 ad-hoc track results in the analysis. Factor analysis techniques have been used to extract factors that would reflect stylistic properties of documents. Comparison of the obtained style-dependent parameters and their derived ranks is conducted. A simple schema for rank aggregation is proposed. Evaluation of the results shows only moderate improvement of relevance ranking.
