Abstract

We describe an Information Retrieval Model based on fuzzy Networks that incorporates dependence relationships between indexing terms. We details the design and implementation of a new Information Retrieval Model based on Fuzzy Network. From this Network, most relevant term to term dependence relationships are extracted using within document terms dependency analyses. The criteria used to select these dependence relationships are the strength of dependency of each pair of terms within each document and the strength of dependency of each pair of terms in the entire document collection. The relevance of a document to a query is interpreted by two degrees: the necessity and the possibility. The necessity degree evaluates the extent to which a document is relevant to a query, whereas the possibility degree evaluates the reasons of eliminating irrelevant documents. These two measures are also used for quantifying terms-terms links and terms-documents links. Experiments carried out on thre...

Modeling using Term Dependencies and Term Weighting in Information Retrieval Systems
Doaa Mabrouk

2018

The process of information retrieval has become a fact of life because of the great growth of the internet and information. In this paper, retrieval models are discussed. These models are classified according to two different mathematical modeling approaches: term dependency models and term weighting models. Some models assume term independence, while others consider this dependency relation. On the other hand, term weighting is a method that tries to index the document in an effective way. The aim of this paper is to discuss and evaluate different information retrieval models which employ both terms dependence/independence, as well as term weighting.

Current trends in information retrieval systems: review of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy Boolean retrieval models
Ndubuisi Chimah

Journal of Library Services and Technologies, 2020

This paper reviews the concept and goal of Information Retrieval Systems (IRSs). It also explains the synonymous concepts in Information Retrieval (IR)which include such terms as: imprecision, vagueness, uncertainty, and inconsistency. Current trends in IRSs are discussed. Fuzzy Set Theory, Fuzzy Retrieval Modelsare reviewed. The paper also discusses extensions of Fuzzy Boolean Retrieval Models including Fuzzy techniques for documents’ indexingandFlexible query languages. Fuzzy associative mechanisms were identified to include:(1)fuzzy pseudothesauri and fuzzy ontologies which can be used to contextualize the search by expanding the set of index terms of documents;(2)an alternative use of fuzzy pseudothesarui and fuzzy ontologies is to expand the query with related terms by taking into account their varying importance of an additional termand (3)fuzzy clustering techniques, where each document can be placed within several clusters with a given strength of belonging to each cluster, ...

A Fuzzy Ontology-Approach to improve Semantic Information Retrieval
Silvia Calegari

2007

This paper shows how a Fuzzy Ontology based approach can improve semantic documents retrieval. After formally defining a Fuzzy Knowledge Base, it is discussed a special type of new non-taxonomic fuzzy relationships, called (semantic) correlations. These correlations, first assigned by experts, are updated after querying, or when a document has been inserted into a database. It is then introduced an Information Retrieval algorithm that allows to derive a unique path among the entities involved in the query in order to obtain maxima semantic associations in the knowledge domain.

Using Vagueness Measures to Re-rank Documents Retrieved by a Fuzzy Set Information Retrieval Model
Stephen Lynn

2008 Fifth International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2008

Traditional information retrieval (IR) systems evaluate user queries and retrieve/rank documents based on matching keywords in user queries with words in documents. These exact word-matching and ranking approaches ignore too many relevant documents that do not contain the exact keywords as specified in a user query. Instead of considering these traditional approaches, we propose to retrieve documents using a fuzzy set IR model and rank retrieved documents for any vague query using the "vagueness score" of the documents based on the word senses as defined in WordNet. Using the vagueness scores, we rank the most highest "relevant" documents of a vague query q as the ones that best cover the different possible senses of keywords in q. The proposed word-sense ranking method enhances the existing ranking approaches on ordering retrieved documents for vague queries and thus provides a more reliable and elegant tool for information retrieval.

Implementation of an efficient Fuzzy Logic based Information Retrieval
Prabhjot Singh

This paper exemplifies the implementation of an efficient Information Retrieval (IR) System to compute the similarity between a dataset and a query using Fuzzy Logic. TREC dataset has been used for the same purpose. The dataset is parsed to generate keywords index which is used for the similarity comparison with the user query. Each query is assigned a score value based on its fuzzy similarity with the index keywords. The relevant documents are retrieved based on the score value. The performance and accuracy of the proposed fuzzy similarity model is compared with Cosine similarity model using Precision-Recall curves. The results prove the dominance of Fuzzy Similarity based IR system.

Fuzzy Latent Semantic Query Expansion Model for Enhancing Information Retrieval
Ayodeji Ibitoye

International Journal of Modern Education and Computer Science, 2016

One natural and successful technique to have retrieved documents that is relevant to users' intention is by expanding the original query with other words that best capture the goal of users. However, no matter the means implored on the clustered document while expanding the user queries, only a concept driven document clustering technique has better capacity to spawn results with conceptual relevance to the users' goal. Therefore, this research extends the Concept Based Thesaurus Network document clustering techniques by using the Latent Semantic Analysis tool to identify the Best Fit Concept Based Document Cluster in the network. The Fuzzy Latent Semantic Query Expansion Model process achieved a better precision and recall rate values on experimentation and evaluations when compared with some existing information retrieval approaches.

Quality, relevance and importance in information retrieval with fuzzy semantic networks
Sasha Rudan

TMRA, Germany, 2008

We propose a framework for ranking information based on quality, relevance and importance, and argue that a socio-semantic contextual approach that extends topicality can lead to enhanced precision in information retrieval. We use Topic Maps to implement our framework, and discuss procedures for collecting the pertinent metadata and for calculating the resource ranking. A fuzzy neural network approach is envisioned to complement the process of manual metadata creation.

An information retrieval model using the fuzzy proximity degree of term occurences
Annabelle Mercier

Proceedings of the 2005 ACM symposium on Applied computing - SAC '05, 2005

Based on the idea that the closer the query terms in a document are, the more relevant this document is, we propose a mathematical model of information retrieval based on a fuzzy proximity degree of term occurences. Our model is able to deal with Boolean queries, but contrary to the traditional extensions of the basic Boolean information retrieval model, it does not explicitly use a proximity operator. A single parameter allows to control the proximity degree required. With conjunctive queries, setting this parameter to low values requires a proximity at the phrase level and with high values, the required proximity can continuously be relaxed to the sentence or paragraph levels. We conducted some experiments and present the results.

Fuzzy information retrieval model revisited
Katarzyna Nowacka

Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 2009

A new comprehensive model of information retrieval (IR) based on Zadeh's calculus of linguistic statements is proposed. Its characteristic and novel feature is the capability to take into account both the imprecision and uncertainty pervading the textual information representation. It extends earlier IR models based on broadly meant fuzzy logic. Moreover, some techniques for indexing documents and queries in the framework of this model are proposed. The results of the computational experiments on standard document collections are reported.

Semantic Information Retrieval Model: Fuzzy Ontology Approach
AZIZA ZEZE Attia

International Journal of Computer Applications, 2014

The paper proposes a multi-view information retrieval model. The model has the ability to deal with the multi-field topics problem using a predefined multi-field or multi-view fuzzy ontology. Respecting the natural relationship between concepts and terms, the model enhances the recall measure compared with previously proposed fuzzy ontology-based information retrieval models. It also proposes a ranking algorithm that ranks a set of relevant documents according to some criteria such as their relevance degree, confidence degree, and updating degree.
