Query-By-Keywords (QBK): Query Formulation Using Semantics and Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
The staples of information retrieval have been querying and search, respectively, for structured and unstructured repositories. Processing queries over known, structured repositories (e.g., Databases) has been well-understood, and search has become ubiquitous when it comes to unstructured repositories (e.g., Web). Furthermore, searching structured repositories has been explored to a limited extent. However, there is not much work in querying unstructured sources. We argue that querying unstructured sources is the next step in performing focused retrievals. This paper proposed a new approach to generate queries from searchlike inputs for unstructured repositories. Instead of burdening the user with schema details, we believe that pre-discovered semantic information in the form of taxonomies, relationship of keywords based on context, and attribute & operator compatibility can be used to generate query skeletons. Furthermore, progressive feedback from users can be used to improve the accuracy of query skeletons generated.

Query 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...

Image representation schemes designed for image retrieval systems are categorized into two classes: Keyword (text) features and Visual features. The query scenario in image retrieval system based on keyword features (Chang and Hsu 1992 ; Shen et al 2000) is Query by Keyword (QBK). Semantics of images can be accurately represented by keywords, as long as keyword annotations are accurate and comp...

متن کاملRRLUFF: Ranking function based on Reinforcement Learning using User Feedback and Web Document Features
Principal aim of a search engine is to provide the sorted results according to user’s requirements. To achieve this aim, it employs ranking methods to rank the web documents based on their significance and relevance to user query. The novelty of this paper is to provide user feedback-based ranking algorithm using reinforcement learning. The proposed algorithm is called RRLUFF, in which the rank...
متن کاملWeb pages ranking algorithm based on reinforcement learning and user feedback
The main challenge of a search engine is ranking web documents to provide the best response to a user`s query. Despite the huge number of the extracted results for user`s query, only a small number of the first results are examined by users; therefore, the insertion of the related results in the first ranks is of great importance. In this paper, a ranking algorithm based on the reinforcement le...
