The Use of WordNet in Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
WordNet has been used in information retrieval research by many researchers, but failed to improve the performance of their retrieval system. Thereby in this paper we investigate why the use of WordNet has not been successful. Based on this analysis we propose a method of making WordNet more useful in information retrieval applications. Experiments using several standard information retrieval test collections show that our method results in a significant improvement of information retrieval performance.
