Linguistic Knowledge can Improve Information Retrieval

چکیده
This article was published in the Proceedings of the Applied Natural Language Processing Conference (ANLP−2000) in Seattle, Washington, May 1−3, 2000. A preliminary version was published as a technical report (TR−99−83) in the Sun Microsystems Laboratories Technical Report Series. The article represents a milestone in an ongoing project aimed at discovering technology to help people find specific information online. We undertook this project with the understanding that if we could significantly improve people’s ability to find information online, then this would have wide impact across a variety of computer applications, from finding information in online documentation, to finding needed information on a Web site; from following ideas in research material, to organizing case material for legal proceedings; from supporting telephone call centers, to publishing information with indexes that enable people to efficiently find what they need; and on and on ... This project anticipated the needs that many people have now experienced using search engines on the Web.

Using Linguistic Knowledge in Information Retrieval Technical Report
The current practice in Information Retrieval is largely based on statistical techniques. These techniques are reasonably successful but many researchers believe that statistical techniques have reached their upper bound. Some recent research in IR is aimed at investigating whether Natural Language Processing techniques can be used to improve the performance of existing retrieval strategies. In...
متن کاملThe socio - cognitive theory in information retrieval (IR)
Abstract Background and Aim: The socio-cognitive theory introduced in information science by Horland and Alberchtsen. The socio-cognitive view turns the traditional cognitive program upside down. The socio-cognitive theory emphasizes on different cultural and social structures of users. Hence, the aim of the article is to explain the role of socio - cognitive theory in information retrieval (I...
متن کاملTALP at GeoCLEF 2007: Using Terrier with Geographical Knowledge Filtering
This paper describes our experiments in Geographical Information Retrieval (GIR) in the context of our participation in the GeoCLEF 2007 Monolingual English task. Our system, called TALPGeoIR, follows a similar architecture of our previous system presented at GeoCLEF 2006 [2] with some changes in the Retrieval modes and the Geographical Knowledge Base. The system has four phases performed seque...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Linguistic IRS Model Based on a 2-Tuple Fuzzy Linguistic Approach
Information Retrieval Systems (IRSs) based on an ordinal fuzzy linguistic approach present some problems of loss of information and lack of precision when working with discrete linguistic expression domains or when applying approximation operations in the symbolic aggregation methods. In this paper, we present a new IRS model based on the 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic approach, which allows us to ov...
متن کاملBlog Classification: Adding Linguistic Knowledge to Improve the K-NN Algorithm
Blogs are interactive and regularly updated websites which can be seen as diaries. These websites are composed by articles based on distinct topics. Thus, it is necessary to develop Information Retrieval approaches for this new web knowledge. The first important step of this process is the categorization of the articles. The paper above compares several methods using linguistic knowledge with k...
