Abstract

Nowadays, almost every search engine use "Discrete" models, such as boolean logic model. it processes user queries and documents, in the way that will break key words into discrete, unrelated words. It will lose the semantic relation between words, and bring noise in search results. This paper presents a conceptual analysis method, replacing the interrogative word in the query with focus word that is extracted from the query, in order to construct a concept map expressing the connotation semantic information of the query. From the view of Chinese conceptual connotation, we analyze user demands, and restore their retrieval intention, in order to guide the next search, to improve the accuracy of the retrieval system.
