How Nonmonotonic Is Aboutness? How Nonmonotonic Is Aboutness?

چکیده
The notion of aboutness is fundamental to information retrieval. Assume there is a document d which is about query q. Now, if information is added to d yielding ~ d, the question arises whether document ~ d is about q? In other words, is aboutness monotonic with respect to information composition? This article shows that aboutness does have nonmonotonic character with respect to composition.

متن کاملMeasuring Aboutness Of An Entity In A Text
In many information retrieval and selection tasks it is valuable to score how much a text is about a certain entity and to compute how much the text discusses the entity with respect to a certain viewpoint. In this paper we are interested in giving an aboutness score to a text, when the input query is a person name and we want to measure the aboutness with respect to the biographical data of th...
متن کاملA commonsense aboutness theory for information retrieval modeling
Information retrieval (IR) can be viewed as a process to determine the “aboutness”, or sometimes “relevance”, relationship between information carriers (e.g. document and query). Thus, the concept of aboutness lies at the heart of IR. A better understanding of aboutness would lead to more effective IR systems. In this paper, we give a review of the status of current research on aboutness. It is...
متن کاملAn Implementation of Symbolic Aboutness Theory
Today information can be globally shared via the Internet and can be accessible from anywhere in the world. The increasing complexity and size of the WWW urges the need of more effective mode for information processing techniques such as information retrieval and filtering, information summarization, topic segmentation, data mining and information discovery, etc. All of them can be fundamentall...
متن کاملAboutness from a commonsense perspective
Information retrieval (IR) is driven by a process which decides whether a document is about a query. Recent attempts spawned from logic-based information retrieval theory have formalized properties characterizing “aboutness”, but no consensus has yet been reached. The proposed properties are largely determined by the underlying framework within which aboutness is defined. In addition, some prop...
