When confronted with a query, question answering systems endeavor to extract the most exact answers possible by determining the answer type that fits with the key terms used in the query. However, the efficacy of such systems is limited by the fact that the terms used in a query may be in a syntactic form different to that of the same words in a document. In this paper, we present an efficient semantic query expansion methodology based on query patterns in a question category concept list comprised of terms that are semantically close to terms used in a query. The proposed system first constructs a concept list for each question type and then builds the concept list for each question category using a learning algorithm. The results of the present experiments suggest the promise of the proposed method.

For semantic search methods to provide more accurate results than keyword-based search in a logical representation that uses a knowledge base are being studied. Than most of the user to use formal query language and schema used to interpret the meaning of a user keyword. In this paper, we propose to expand the user query for semantic search. In the proposed system, user query expansion component and a component to adjust the results to interpret user queries to take advantage of the knowledge base associated with a search term. Finally, a user query semantic interpretation, the proposed scheme to verify the experimental results of the prototype system is described.

There are some important that development of tools to retrieve information by simple operation in large of nave users in the world wide web. In general, query formulation method and operators are variety, not easy to formulate query in information retrieval system or web based retrieval engine. In this paper, we propose "Concept Wizard" to support query formulation with concept term expansion in natural language query information retrieval system. The Concept Wizard are interactively supporting query formulation using thesaurus and Providing plug-in on the web.

This paper proposes a novel knowledge extraction system, TAKES (Two-step Approach for Knowledge Extraction System), which integrates advanced techniques from Information Retrieval (IR), Information Extraction (IE), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). In particular, TAKES adopts a novel keyphrase extraction-based query expansion technique to collect promising documents. It also uses a Conditional Random Field-based machine learning technique to extract important biological entities and relations. TAKES is applied to biological knowledge extraction, particularly retrieving promising documents that contain Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) and extracting PPI pairs. TAKES consists of two major components: DocSpotter, which is used to query and retrieve promising documents for extraction, and a Conditional Random Field (CRF)-based entity extraction component known as FCRF. The present paper investigated research problems addressing the issues with a knowledge extraction system and conducted a series of experiments to test our hypotheses. The findings from the experiments are as follows: First, the author verified, using three different test collections to measure the performance of our query expansion technique, that DocSpotter is robust and highly accurate when compared to Okapi BM25 and SLIPPER. Second, the author verified that our relation extraction algorithm, FCRF, is highly accurate in terms of F-Measure compared to four other competitive extraction algorithms: Support Vector Machine, Maximum Entropy, Single POS HMM, and Rapier.

For the users of information retrieval systems, natural language query is the more ideal interface, compared with keyword and boolean expressions. This paper proposes a retrieval technique with expanded keyword from syntactically-analyzed structures of natural language query as user input. Through the steps combining or splitting the compound nouns based on syntactic tree traversal of the query, and expanding the other-formed or shorten-formed into multiple keyword, it can enhance the precision and correctness of the retrieval system.

Natural language query is the best user interface for the users of information retrieval systems. This paper Proposes a retrieval system with expanded keyword from syntactically-analyzed structures of user's natural language query based on natural language processing technique. Through the steps combining or splitting the compound nouns based on syntactic tree traversal, and expanding the other-formed or shorten-formed keyword into multiple keyword, the system performance was enhanced up to 11.3% precision and 4.7% correctness.

Natural language query is the best user interface for the users of web text retrieval systems. This paper proposes a retrieval system with expanded keyword from syntactically-analyzed structures of user's natural language query based on natural language processing technique. Through the steps combining or splitting the compound nouns based on syntactic tree traversal, and expanding the other-formed or shorten-formed keyword into multiple keyword, it shows that precision and correctness of the retrieval system was enhanced.

We build the web document recommending agent system which offers a certain amount of web documents to each user by monitoring and learning the user's action of web browsing. We also propose a method of query expansion using the Korean thesaurus. The queries to search for new web documents generate a candidate set using the Korean thesaurus. We extract the words which are mostly correlated with the queries, among the words in the candidate set, by using TF-IDF and mutual information. Then, we expand the query. If we adopt the system of query expansion, we can recommend a lot of web documents which have potential interests to users. We thus conclude that the system of query expansion is more effective than a base system of recommending web-documents to users.

When confronted with a query, question answering systems endeavor to extract the most exact answers possible by determining the answer type that fits with the key terms used in the query. However, the efficacy of such systems is limited by the fact that the terms used in a query may be in a syntactic form different to that of the same words in a document. In this paper, we present an efficient semantic query expansion methodology based on a question category concept list comprised of terms that are semantically close to terms used in a query. The semantically close terms of a term in a query may be hypernyms, synonyms, or terms in a different syntactic category. The proposed system constructs a concept list for each question type and then builds the concept list for each question category using a learning algorithm. In the question answering experiments on 42,654 Wall Street Journal documents of the TREC collection, the traditional system showed in 0.223 in MRR and the proposed system showed 0.50 superior to the traditional question answering system. The results of the present experiments suggest the promise of the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is to explore the potential contribution of citation metrics to improving the search performance of citation index databases. To this end, the study generated ten queries in the field of library and information science and conducted experiments based on the relevance assessment using 3,467 documents retrieved from the Web of Science and 60,734 documents published in 85 SSCI journals in the field of library and information science from 2000 to 2021. The experiments included re-ranking of the top 100 search results using citation metrics and search methods, query expansion experiments using vector space model retrieval systems, and the construction of a citation-based re-ranking system. The results are as follows: 1) Re-ranking using citation metrics differed from Web of Science's performance, acting as independent metrics. 2) Combining query term frequencies and citation counts positively affected performance. 3) Query expansion generally improved performance compared to the vector space model baseline. 4) User-based query expansion outperformed system-based. 5) Combining citation counts with suitability documents affected ranking within top suitability documents.
