TLDR
The main objective is to improve the efficiency of search results suggested by the search engine in response to a query by constructing alternate queries for the main query given by the user.Abstract:
Search engines have become mandatory part in the usability of information available through Internet. They provide direct support in the growth of the World Wide Web. Today their concern is to give more importance to the precision in the top results suggested to reduce the iterative search of a concept by any user. Our main objective is to improve the efficiency of search results suggested by the search engine in response to a query. The objective is approached by constructing alternate queries for the main query given by the user. It involves the selection of contextually most similar alternate queries through the method proposed here. The coalition of results produced by the main query and the alternate queries could improve the precision in the top pages. We evaluated the proposed method and observed that the proposed method performed well in projection of some of the important links of the search results into the top few pages. Also, it is observed that the precision improved considerably.read more

LIS4: Lesk Inspired Sense Specific Semantic Similarity using WordNet
TL;DR: This paper proposed an approach to quantify the similarity between concepts that exploits the synsets and the gloss definitions of different concepts using WordNet and the efficiency of the system is shown in comparison with other existing taxonomical and definitional measures.

Evaluating Evaluation Measure Stability

TL;DR: A novel way of examining the accuracy of the evaluation measures commonly used in information retrieval experiments is presented, which validates several of the rules-of-thumb experimenters use and challenges other beliefs, such as the common evaluation measures are equally reliable.

Using WordNet Based Context Vectors to Estimate the Semantic Relatedness of Concepts
TL;DR: A WordNetbased measure of semantic relatedness is introduced by combining the structure and content of WordNet with co–occurrence information derived from raw text that can make comparisons between any two concepts without regard to their part of speech.
