Collaborative Querying through a Hybrid Query Clustering Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Harnessing previously issued queries to facilitate collaborative querying is an approach that can help users in digital libraries and other information systems better meet their information needs. Here, the kernel step is to identify and cluster similar queries by mining the query logs. However because of the short lengths of queries, it is relatively difficult to cluster queries effectively using only the terms since they cannot convey enough information. This paper introduces a hybrid method to cluster queries by utilizing both the query terms and the results returned to queries. Experiments show that this method outperforms existing query clustering techniques.

Collaborative Querying for Enhanced Information Retrieval
Communication and collaboration with other people is a major theme in the information seeking process. Collaborative querying addresses this issue by sharing other users’ search experiences to help users formulate appropriate queries to a search engine. This paper describes a collaborative querying system that helps users with query formulation by finding previously submitted similar queries th...
متن کاملQuery Graph Visualizer: A Collaborative Querying System
Collaborative querying seeks to help users formulate an accurate query to a search engine by sharing expert knowledge or other users’ search experiences. One approach to accomplish collaborative querying is to cluster related queries which are stored in query logs and use the related queries as recommendations to users. Here, the kernel step is to identify the similarity between queries. This p...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effectiveness of a Collaborative Querying Environment
Collaborative querying seeks to help users formulate queries by sharing expert knowledge or other users’ search experiences. In previous work, a collaborative query environment (CQE) was developed for a digital library. The system operates by clustering and recommending related queries to users using a hybrid query similarity identification approach. Users can explore the query clusters using a...
متن کاملDeveloping a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...

The recommender systems are models that are to predict the potential interests of users among a number of items. These systems are widespread and they have many applications in real-world. These systems are generally based on one of two structural types: collaborative filtering and content filtering. There are some systems which are based on both of them. These systems are named hybrid recommen...
