Estimating Recall and Precision for Vague Queries in Databases
In vague queries, a user enters a value that represents some real world object and expects as the result the set of database values that represent this real world object even with not exact matching. The problem appears in databases that collect data from different sources or databases were different users enter data directly. Query engines usually rely on the use of some type of similarity met...
متن کاملExploiting Semantic Association To Answer 'Vague Queries'
Although today’s web search engines are very powerful, they still fail to provide intuitively relevant results for many types of queries, especially ones that are vaguely-formed in the user’s own mind. We argue that associations between terms in a search query can reveal the underlying information needs in the users’ mind and should be taken into account in search. We propose a multi-faceted ap...
متن کاملVague Relations in Spatial Databases
While qualitative relations (e.g. RCC8 relations) can readily be derived from spatial databases, a more difficult matter is the representation of vague spatial relations such as ‘near-to’,‘next-to’, ‘between’, etc. After surveying earlier approaches, this paper proposes a method that is tractable, learnable and directly suitable for use in natural language interfaces to spatial databases. The a...
متن کاملVAGUE RINGS AND VAGUE IDEALS
In this paper, various elementary properties of vague rings are obtained. Furthermore, the concepts of vague subring, vague ideal, vague prime ideal and vague maximal ideal are introduced, and the validity of some relevant classical results in these settings are investigated.
متن کاملA Knowledge Representation Formalism to Process Vague Medical Queries
Many fields of application deal with vague and fuzzy information. Thus the need of tools that are able to handle this kind of data is obvious. We concentrate on the extension of well-known terminological knowledge representation systems with appropriate methods. Classical terminological knowledge representation systems are based on two-valued logics. To solve problems of uncertainty a more expr...
