Entity-based Stochastic Analysis of Search Results for Query Expansion and Results Re-Ranking

چکیده
In this paper we introduce a method for exploiting entities from the emerging Web of Data for enhancing various Information Retrieval (IR) services. The approach is based on named-entity recognition applied in a set of search results, and on a graph of documents and identified entities that is constructed dynamically and analyzed stochastically using a Random Walk method. The result of this analysis is exploited in two different contexts: for automatic query expansion and for re-ranking a set of retrieved results. Evaluation results in the 2015 TREC Clinical Decision Support Track illustrate that query expansion can increase recall by retrieving more relevant hits, while re-ranking can notably improve the ranked list of results by moving relevant but low-ranked hits in higher positions.

Towards Supporting Exploratory Search over the Arabic Web Content: The Case of ArabXplore
Due to the huge amount of data published on the Web, the Web search process has become more difficult, and it is sometimes hard to get the expected results, especially when the users are less certain about their information needs. Several efforts have been proposed to support exploratory search on the web by using query expansion, faceted search, or supplementary information extracted from exte...
متن کاملQuery expansion based on relevance feedback and latent semantic analysis
Web search engines are one of the most popular tools on the Internet which are widely-used by expert and novice 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 expa...
متن کاملQuery Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology
Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...

We participate in all two types of instance search task in TRECVID 2012: automatic search and interactive search. This paper presents our approaches and results. In this task, we mainly focus on exploring the effective feature representation, feature matching, re-ranking algorithm and query expansion. In feature representation, we adopt two basic visual features and five keypoint-based BoW feat...

Tsinghua University Information Retrieval Group (THUIR) has participated into the first Relevance Feedback Track of TREC2008. The TMiner search engine has been used as our text retrieval system, because the processing capability and flexibility of this system on large text data has been testified during many years’ Web Track and Terabyte Track. In the track, we studied two approaches: 1) query ...
