Using Concept Formal Analysis for Cooperative Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
. The potentials of formal concept analysis (FCA) for information retrieval (IR) have been highlighted by a number of research studies since its inception. The growth of the web has favoured the emergence of new search applications. In this paper, we will focus on the unique features of FCA for searching in distributed information and for reducing the size of the set information. The development of a FCA-based applications for distributed information returns a major gain and the obtained results are promising. This study has several perspectives for real and fuzzy data.

SearchSleuth extends a standard search interface to include a conceptua...
متن کاملUsing Formal Concept Analysis for Heterogeneous Information Retrieval
With the advent of the Web along with the unprecedented amount of information coming from sources of heterogeneous data, Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is more useful and practical than ever, because this technology addresses important limitations of the systems that currently support users in their quest for information. In this paper, we will focus on the unique features of FCA for searching i...
متن کاملA Brief Overview of Cooperative Answering
A cooperative response to a query is an indirect response that is more helpful to the user than a direct, literal response would be. Interest in cooperative responses arose in the context of natural-language query answering, but the concept carries over, with suitable modifications, to a formal-language setting. Cooperative answering has been studied over the last thirty years, but, until recen...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Vector Space Model, Latent Semantic Indexing and Formal Concept Analysis for Information Retrieval
Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), a variant of classical Vector Space Model (VSM), is an Information Retrieval (IR) model that attempts to capture the latent semantic relationship between the data items. Mathematical lattices, under the framework of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), represent conceptual hierarchies in data and retrieve the information. However, both LSI and FCA use the data represen...
