Content-Based Document Retrieval Using Natural Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system for the content-based querying of large databases containing documents of different classes (texts, images, image sequences etc.) is introduced. Queries are formulated in natural language (NL) and are evaluated for their semantic contents. For the document evaluation, a knowledge model consisting of a set of domain specific concept interpretation methods is constructed. Thus, the semantics of both the query and the documents can be interconnected, i. e. the retrieval process searches for a match on the semantic level (not merely on the level of keywords or global image properties) between the query and the document. Methods from fuzzy set theory are used to find the matches. Furthermore, the retrieval methods associate information from different document classes. To avoid the loss of information inherent to pre-indexing, documents need not be indexed; in principle, every search may be performed on the raw data under a given query. The system can therefore answer every query that can be expressed in the semantic model. To achieve the high data rates necessary for on-line analysis, dedicated VLSI search processors are being developed along with a parallel highthroughput media-server. In the sequel, we outline the system architecture and detail specific aspects of those two modules which together implement natural language search: the natural language interface NatLink, we performs the syntactical analysis and constructs a formal semantical interpretation of the queries, and the subsequent fuzzy retrieval module, which establishes an operational model for concept-based NL interpretation. 1 Parts of the work reported here were funded by the ministry of science and research of the German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen within the collaborative research initiative “Virtual Knowledge Factory”. The group developing the HPQS system includes working groups at the universities of Aachen (T. G. Noll), Bielefeld (A. Knoll), Dortmund (J. Biskup), Hagen (H. Helbig), and Paderborn (B. Monien). HPQS is an acronym for “High Performance Query Server”. 2 This is a revised version of an earlier report (Knoll et al. (1998b)).

متن کاملSemi-automatic Parsing for Web Knowledge Extraction through Semantic Annotation
Parsing Web information, namely parsing content to find relevant documents on the basis of a user’s query, represents a crucial step to guarantee fast and accurate Information Retrieval (IR). Generally, an automated approach to such task is considered faster and cheaper than manual systems. Nevertheless, results do not seem have a high level of accuracy, indeed, as also Hjorland (2007) states, ...
متن کاملExploring Semantic Constraints For Document Retrieval
In this paper, we explore the use of structured content as semantic constraints for enhancing the performance of traditional term-based document retrieval in special domains. First, we describe a method for automatic extraction of semantic content in the form of attribute-value (AV) pairs from natural language texts based on domain models constructed from a semistructured web resource. Then, we...
