Searching via Keywords or Concept Hierarchies - Which is Better?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have carried out a comparison of interactive search in a homogenous information retrieval domain using a keyword search engine on the one hand and a concept ontology system on the other. The experimental design was that of the TREC Interactive Track. While the results showed that keyword search was superior on this occasion, we have identified the ideal characteristics of an ontology and shown that the one used for the study did not conform to these. Future work will include repeating the experiment with an optimal hierarchy and establishing numerical attributes of an ontology relative to a particular task domain. 1 For related papers etc see www.csis.ul.ie/staff/richard.sutcliffe

Relation Inclusive Search for Hindi Documents
Information retrieval (IR) techniques become a challenge to researchers due to huge growth of digital and information retrieval. As a wide variety of Hindi Data and Literature is now available on web, we have developed information retrieval system for Hindi documents. This paper presents a new searching technique that has promising results in terms of F-measure. Historically, there have been tw...
متن کاملManaging Hierarchies and Taxonomies in Relational Databases
The need to maintain classification and retrieval mechanisms that rely on concept hierarchies is as old as language itself. Familiar examples include the Dewey decimal classification system used in libraries and the system for classifying life forms developed in the 1700s by Carolus Linnaeus. A more recent example is Yahoo’s subject taxonomy. Information technology has led to an explosive growt...
متن کاملApplication of modified balanced iterative reducing and clustering using hierarchies algorithm in parceling of brain performance using fMRI data
Introduction: Clustering of human brain is a very useful tool for diagnosis, treatment, and tracking of brain tumors. There are several methods in this category in order to do this. In this study, modified balanced iterative reducing and clustering using hierarchies (m-BIRCH) was introduced for brain activation clustering. This algorithm has an appropriate speed and good scalability in dealing ...
متن کاملDesign of Class Hierarchies Based on Concept (Galois) Lattices
Building and maintaining the class hierarchy has been recognized as an important but one of the most difficult activities of object-oriented design. Concept (or Galois) lattices and variant structures are presented as a framework for dealing with the design and maintenance of class hierarchies. Because the design of class hierarchies is inherently an iterative and incremental process, we design...
متن کاملExplaining the Concept and Models of Serendipity In Information Search Process
Background and Aim: Searching for information is not always a targeted activity; it can also be done involuntarily. The serendipity has the ability to find information randomly and as something happy, something unexpected, or a pleasant surprise. This paper examines and analyzes the concept of serendipity and its models in the process of information searching. Methods: The present study uses a ...
