چکیده
Web search engines are one of the most popular tools on the Internet, which are widely used by experienced and inexperienced users. Constructing an adequate query, which represents the best specification of users’ information need to the search engine is an important concern of web users. Query expansion is a way to reduce this concern and increase user satisfaction. In this paper, a new method of query expansion is introduced. This method, which is a combination of relevant feedback and latent semantic analysis, finds the relative terms to the topics of user original query based on relevant documents selected by the user in relevant feedback step. The method is evaluated and compared with the Rocchio relevant feedback. The results indicate the capability of the method to better representation of user’s information need and increasing significantly user satisfaction.

متن کاملUNT at ImageCLEF 2011: Relevance Models and Salient Semantic Analysis for Image Retrieval
This paper presents the result of the team of the University of North Texas in the ImageCLEF 2011 Wikipedia and Medical Image Retrieval tasks. For Wikipedia image retrieval we compare the two query expansion methods: relevance models and query expansion using Wikipedia and flicker as external sources. The relevance models use a classic relevance feedback mechanism for Language models as propose...
متن کاملBuilding a Latent Semantic Index of an Image Database from Patterns of Relevance Feedback
This paper proposes a novel view of the information generated by relevance feedback. Latent semantic analysis is adapted to this view to extract useful inter-query information. The view presented in this paper is that the fundamental vocabulary of the system is the images in the database and that relevance feedback is a document whose words are the images. A relevance feedback document contains...
