Query Reformulation Guided by External Resource for Information Retrieval
نویسنده
چکیده
Reformulating the user query is a technique that aims to improve the performance of an Information Retrieval System (IRS) in terms of precision and recall. This paper tries to evaluate the technique of query reformulation guided by an external resource for Arabic texts. To do this, various precision and recall measures were conducted and two corpora with different external resources like Arabic WordNet (AWN) and the Arabic Dictionary (thesaurus) of Meaning (ADM) were used. Examination of the obtained results will allow us to measure the real contribution of this reformulation technique in improving the IRS performance. Keywords—Arabic NLP, Arabic Information Retrieval, Arabic WordNet, Query Expansion.

QEA: A New Systematic and Comprehensive Classification of Query Expansion Approaches
A major problem in information retrieval is the difficulty to define the information needs of user and on the other hand, when user offers your query there is a vast amount of information to retrieval. Different methods , therefore, have been suggested for query expansion which concerned with reconfiguring of query by increasing efficiency and improving the criterion accuracy in the information...
متن کاملAnalysis of multiple query reformulations on the web: The interactive information retrieval context
This study examines the facets and patterns of multiple Web query reformulations with a focus on reformulation sequences. Based on IR interaction models, it was presumed that query reformulation is the product of the interaction between the user and the IR system. Query reformulation also reflects the interplay between the surface and deeper levels of user interaction. Query logs were collected...

We present our participation in the NTCIR GeoTime evaluation task with a semantically-flavored geographic information retrieval system. Our approach relies on a thorough interpretation of the user intent by recognising and grounding entities and relationships from query terms, extracting additional information using external knowledge resources and geographic ontologies, and reformulating the q...

Information retrieval can be achieved through computerized processes by generating a list of relevant responses to a query. The document processor, matching function and query analyzer are the main components of an information retrieval system. Document retrieval system is fundamentally based on: Boolean, vector-space, probabilistic, and language models. In this paper, a new methodology for mat...
