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.

Semantic Information Retrieval

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.

Server Application

The current methods of searching and information retrieval are imprecise, often yielding results in tens of thousands of web pages. Extraction of the actual information needed often requires extensive manual browsing of retrieved documents. In order to address these drawbacks, this paper introduces an implementation in the field of food science of the ontology-based information retrieval system, and comparison is made with conventional information systems. The ontology of Food Semantic Web Knowledge Base (FSWKB) was built using the Protégé framework which supports two main models of ontology through the editors Protégé-Frames and Protégé-OWL. The FSWKB is composed of two heterogeneous ontologies, and these are merged and processed on a separate server application making use of the Apache Jena Fuseki an SPARQL server offering SPARQL endpoint. The experimental results indicated that ontology-based information systems are more effective in terms of their retrieval capability compared to the more conventional information retrieval systems. The retrieval effectiveness was measured in terms of precision and recall. The results of the work showed that traditional search results in average precision and recall levels of 0.92 and 0.18. The ontology-based test for precision and recall has average rates of 0.96 and 0.97.

Methods of extraction and analysis of data – a relatively new and promising branch of computer science, has found its application in information retrieval systems. An algorithm of relationships and dependencies searching in the collections of Web pages. The algorithm does not provide relevant search resources. This function is performed by the search engine. It also produces cleaning, integration, and data selection. A special feature of the algorithm is to use the existing data store (search engine or data storage), language independence and ease of implementation.

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.

Level Of Processing

An experiment is described which attempts to derive quantitative indicators regarding the potential relevance predictability of the intermediate stimuli used to represent documents in information retrieval systems. In effect, since the decision to peruse an entire document is often predicated upon the examination of one »level of processing« of the document (e.g., the citation and/or abstract), it became interesting to analyze the properties of what constitutes »relevance«. However, prior to such an analysis, an even more elementary step had to be made, namely, to determine what portions of a document should be examined.An evaluation of the ability of intermediate response products (IRPs), functioning as cues to the information content of full documents, to predict the relevance determination that would be subsequently made on these documents by motivated users of information retrieval systems, was made under controlled experimental conditions. The hypothesis that there might be other intermediate response products (selected extracts from the document, i.e., first paragraph, last paragraph, and the combination of first and last paragraph), that would be as representative of the full document as the traditional IRPs (citation and abstract) was tested systematically. The results showed that:1. there is no significant difference among the several IRP treatment groups on the number of cue evaluations of relevancy which match the subsequent user relevancy decision on the document;2. first and last paragraph combinations have consistently predicted relevancy to a higher degree than the other IRPs;3. abstracts were undistinguished as predictors; and4. the apparent high predictability rating for citations was not substantive.Some of these results are quite different than would be expected from previous work with unmotivated subjects.

Oriented Approach

AbstractEvaluation of information retrieval systems is a fundamental topic in Library and Information Science. The aim of this paper is to connect the system-oriented and the user-oriented approaches to relevant philosophical schools. By reviewing the related literature, it was found that the evaluation of information retrieval systems is successful if it benefits from both system-oriented and user-oriented approaches (composite). The system-oriented approach is rooted in Parmenides’ philosophy of stability (immovable) which Plato accepts and attributes to the world of forms; the user-oriented approach is rooted in Heraclitus’ flux philosophy (motion) which Plato defers and attributes to the tangible world. Thus, using Plato’s theory is a comprehensive approach for recognizing the concept of relevance. The theoretical and philosophical foundations determine the type of research methods and techniques. Therefore, Plato’s dialectical method is an appropriate composite method for evaluating information retrieval systems.
