Ranking Mechanism

Web-based information retrieval systems called search engines have made things easy for information seekers, but still do not provide guarantees about the relevance of the information provided to the users. Information retrieval systems provide the information to the user based on certain retrieval criteria. Due to the large size of the WWW, it is very common that a large number of documents get identified related to a particular domain. Therefore, to help users towards finding the best matching documents, a ranking mechanism is employed by the search engine. In this article, an improved architecture for an information retrieval system is proposed. The proposed system makes a query log for each user query and stores the results retrieved to the user for that query. The system also provides relevant results by analyzing the content of the pages retrieved for the user query.

Basically keywords are used to index and retrieve the documents for the user query in a conventional information retrieval systems. When more than one keywords are used for defining the single concept in the documents and in the queries, inaccurate and incomplete results were produced by keyword based retrieval systems. Additionally, manual interventions are required for determining the relationship between the related keywords in terms of semantics to produce the accurate results which have paved the way for semantic search. Various research work has been carried out on concept based information retrieval to tackle the difficulties that are caused by the conventional keyword search and the semantic search systems. This paper aims at elucidating various representation of text that is responsible for retrieving relevant search results, approaches along with the evaluation that are carried out in conceptual information retrieval, the challenges faced by the existing research to expatiate requirements of future research. In addition, the conceptual information that are extracted from the different sources for utilizing the semantic representation by the existing systems have been discussed.

Relevant Component

Information retrieval can take great advantages and improvements considering users’ feedbacks. Therefore, the user dimension is a relevant component that must be taken into account while planning and implementing real information retrieval systems. In this chapter, we first describe several concepts related to relevance feedback methods, and then propose a novel information retrieval technique which uses the relevance feedback concepts in order to improve accuracy in an ontology-based system. In particular, we combine the Semantic information from a general knowledge base with statistical information using relevance feedback. Several experiments and results are presented using a test set constituted of Web pages.

The user dimension is a crucial component in the information retrieval process and for this reason it must be taken into account in planning and technique implementation in information retrieval systems. In this paper we present a technique based on relevance feedback to improve the accuracy in an ontology based information retrieval system. Our proposed method combines the semantic information in a general knowledge base with statistical information using relevance feedback. Several experiments and results are presented using a test set constituted of Web pages.

<p><span>Stemmer is used for reducing inflectional or derived word to its stem. This technique involves removing the suffix or prefix affixed in a word. It can be used for information retrieval system to refine the overall execution of the retrieval process. This process is not equivalent to morphological analysis. This process only finds the stem of a word. This technique decreases the number of terms in information retrieval system. There are various techniques exists for stemming. In this paper, a new web-based stemmer has been proposed named as “Mula” for Odia Language. It uses the Hybrid approach (i.e. combination of brute force and suffix removal approach) for Odia language. The new born stemmer is both computationally faster and domain independent. The results are favourable and indicate that the proposed stemmer can be used effectively in Odia Information Retrieval systems. This stemmer also handles the problem of over-stemming and under-stemming in some extend.</span></p>

The categorization of documents into subject-specific categories is a useful enhancement for large document collections addressed by information retrieval systems, as a user can first browse a category tree in search of the category that best matches her interests and then issue a query for more specific documents “from within the category.” This approach combines two modalities in information seeking that are most popular in Web-based search engines, i.e., category-based site browsing (as exemplified by, e.g., Yahoo™) and keyword-based document querying (as exemplified by, e.g., AltaVista™). Appropriate query expansion tools need to be provided, though, in order to allow the user to incrementally refine her query through further retrieval passes, thus allowing the system to produce a series of subsequent document rankings that hopefully converge to the user’s expected ranking. In this work we propose that automatically generated, category-specific “associative” thesauri be used for such purpose. We discuss a method for their generation and discuss how the thesaurus specific to a given category may usefully be endowed with “gateways” to the thesauri specific to its parent and children categories.

Text Preprocessing

Information Retrieval focuses on finding documents whose content matches with a user query from a large document collection. As formulating well-designed queries is difficult for most users, it is necessary to use query expansion to retrieve relevant information. Query expansion techniques are widely applied for improving the efficiency of the textual information retrieval systems. These techniques help to overcome vocabulary mismatch issues by expanding the original query with additional relevant terms and reweighting the terms in the expanded query. In this paper, different text preprocessing and query expansion approaches are combined to improve the documents initially retrieved by a query in a scientific documental database. A corpus belonging to MEDLINE, called Cystic Fibrosis, is used as a knowledge source. Experimental results show that the proposed combinations of techniques greatly enhance the efficiency obtained by traditional queries.

Finding information from a large collection of documents is a complicated task; therefore, we need a method called an information retrieval system. Several models that have been used in information retrieval systems include the Vector Space Model (VSM), DICE Similarity, Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), Generalized Vector Space Model (GVSM), and semantic-based information retrieval systems. The purpose of this study was to develop a semantic network-based search system that will find information based on keywords and the semantic relationship of keywords provided by users. This cannot be done by most search systems that only work based on keyword matching or similarities. The Waterfall development model was used, which divides the development stages into five steps, namely: (1) requirements analysis and definition; (2) system and software design; (3) implementation and unit testing; (4) integration and system testing; and (5) operation and maintenance. The developed system/application was tested by trying to find information based on various combinations of keywords provided by the user. The results showed that the system can find information that matches the keyword, and other relevant information based on the semantic relationships of these keywords. Keywords: information retrieval, search system, semantic network, web-based application
