Lattice-based Information Retrieval
نویسنده
چکیده
A lattice-based model for information retrieval has been suggested in the 1960’s but has been seen as a theoretical possibility hard to practically apply ever since. This paper attempts to revive the lattice model and demonstrate its applicability in an information retrieval system, FaIR, that incorporates a graphical representation of a faceted thesaurus. It shows how Boolean queries can be lattice-theoretically related to the concepts of the thesaurus and visualized within the thesaurus display. An advantage of FaIR is that it allows for a high level of transparency of the system which can be controlled by the user.

Information retrieval through hybrid navigation of lattice representations
In this paper we present a comprehensive approach to automatic organization and hybrid navigation of text databases. An organizing stage first builds a particular lattice representation of the data, through text indexing followed by lattice clustering of the indexed texts. The lattice representation, then, supports the navigation stage of the system, a visual retrieval interface that combines t...

متن کاملLattice-Based Information Retrieval Application
Lattice-based information representation has the advantage of providing efficient visual interface over textual display. However, the complexity of a lattice may grow rapidly with the size of the database. In this paper we formally draw the analogy between Vector Space retrieval. We then propose to use the idea of quotient lattice to reduce the complexity of a Term-Document Lattice. The equival...

متن کاملOn the design and security of a lattice-based threshold secret sharing scheme
In this paper, we introduce a method of threshold secret sharing scheme (TSSS) in which secret reconstruction is based on Babai's nearest plane algorithm. In order to supply secure public channels for transmitting shares to parties, we need to ensure that there are no quantum threats to these channels. A solution to this problem can be utilization of lattice-based cryptosystems for these channe...
