Abstract

The relative ineffectiveness of information retrieval systems is largely caused by the inaccuracy with which a query formed by a few keywords models the actual user information need. One well known method to overcome this limitation is automatic query expansion (AQE), whereby the user’s original query is augmented by new features with a similar meaning. AQE has a long history in the information retrieval community but it is only in the last years that it has reached a level of scientific and experimental maturity, especially in laboratory settings such as TREC. This survey presents a unified view of a large number of recent approaches to AQE that leverage various data sources and employ very different principles and techniques. The following questions are addressed. Why is query expansion so important to improve search effectiveness? What are the main steps involved in the design and implementation of an AQE component? What approaches to AQE are available and how do they compare? Which issues must still be resolved before AQE becomes a standard component of large operational information retrieval systems (e.g., search engines)?

Document expansion for image retrieval
RIAO '10: Adaptivity, Personalization and Fusion of Heterogeneous Information

Successful information retrieval requires effective matching between the user's search request and the contents of relevant documents. Often the request entered by a user may not use the same topic relevant terms as the authors' of these documents. One ...
Incremental blind feedback: An effective approach to automatic query expansion

Automatic query expansion (AQE) is a useful technique for enhancing the effectiveness of information retrieval systems. In this article, we propose a novel AQE algorithm which first adopts a systematic incremental approach to choose feedback documents ...
Ontology Based Query Expansion with a Probabilistic Retrieval Model
IRFC 2013: Proceedings of the 6th Information Retrieval Facility Conference on Multidisciplinary Information Retrieval - Volume 8201

This paper examines the use of ontologies for defining query context. The information retrieval system used is based on the probabilistic retrieval model. We extend the use of relevance feedback RFB and pseudo-relevance feedback PF query expansion ...
