Multiple-Taxonomy Question Classification for Category Search on Faceted Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a novel multiple-taxonomy question classification system, facing the challenge of assigning categories in multiple taxonomies to natural language questions. We applied our system to category search on faceted information. The system provides a natural language interface to faceted information, detecting the categories requested by the user and narrowing down the document search space to those documents pertaining to the facet values identified. The system was developed in the framework of language modeling, and the models to detect categories are inferred directly from the corpus of documents.

Results in Dynamic Taxonomy and Faceted
Metadata access to complex information bases through multidimensional, dynamic taxonomies (aka faceted search) is rapidly becoming a hot topic both in research and in industry, where e-commerce applications based on this access paradigm are becoming pervasive. The dynamic taxonomy model was the first model to fully exploit multidimensional classification schemes and to integrate query and explo...
متن کاملDynamic Category Sets: An Approach for Faceted Search
In this paper, we present Dynamic Category Sets, a novel approach that addresses the vocabulary problem for faceted data. In their paper on the vocabulary problem, Furnas et al. note that "the keywords that are assigned by indexers are often at odds with those tried by searchers." Faceted search systems exhibit an interesting aspect of this problem: users do not necessarily understand an inform...
متن کاملFunctional Faceted Web Query Analysis
We propose a faceted classification scheme for web queries. Unlike previous work, our functional scheme ties its classification to actionable strategies for search engines to take. Our scheme consists of four facets of ambiguity, authority sensitivity, temporal sensitivity and spatial sensitivity. We hypothesize that the classification of queries into such facets yields insight on user intent a...
متن کاملMulti-faceted Learning for Web Taxonomies
A standard problem for internet commerce is the task of building a product taxonomy from web pages, without access to corporate databases. However, a nasty aspect of the real world is that most web-pages have multiple facets. A web page might contain information about both cameras and computers, as well as having both specification and sale data. We are interested in methods for supervised and ...
متن کاملSupporting multiple paths to objects in information hierarchies: Faceted classification, faceted search, and symbolic links
We present three fundamental, interrelated approaches to support multiple access paths to each terminal object in information hierarchies: faceted classification, faceted search, and web directories with embedded symbolic links. This survey aims to demonstrate how each approach supports users who seek information from multiple perspectives. We achieve this by exploring each approach, the relati...
