Abstract. This paper analyzes the results of automatic concept alignment between two ontologies. We use an iterative algorithm to perform concept alignment. The algorithm uses the ...
Abstract. We investigate the potential of coherence-based scores to predict query difficulty. The coherence of a document set associated with each query word is used to capture the...
Abstract. Weighting models use lexical statistics, such as term frequencies, to derive term weights, which are used to estimate the relevance of a document to a query. Apart from t...
Data mining is an interactive and iterative process. Users issue series of similar queries until they receive satisfying results, yet currently available data mining systems do not...
Long queries frequently contain many extraneous terms that hinder retrieval of relevant documents. We present techniques to reduce long queries to more effective shorter ones tha...
