  2. Overview • Introduction • Overview of IR system and basic terminologies • Classical models of Information Retrieval • Boolean Model • Vector Model • Modern models of Information Retrieval • Latent Semantic Indexing • Correlation Method • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • People need information to solve problem • Very simple thing • Complex thing • “Perfect search machine” defined by Larry Page is something that understand exactly what you mean and return exactly what you want.

  4. Challenges to IR • Introduction of www • www is large • Heterogeneous • Gives challenges to IR

  5. Overview of IR and basic terminologies • IR can be divided in to 3 components • Input • Processor • Output Query Processor Output Input Documents

  6. Input Input • The main task: Obtain a good representation of each document and query for computer to use • A document representative: a list of extracted keywords • Idea: Let the computer process the natural language in the document

  7. Input (cont) • Obstacles • Theory of human language has not been sufficiently developed for every language • Not clear how to use it to enhance information retrieval

  8. Input (cont) • Representing documents by keywords • Step1:Removing common words • Step2: Stemming

  9. Step1: Removing common words • Very high frequency words very common words • They should removed • comparing with stop-list • So • Non-significant words not interfere IR process • Reduce the size document between 30->50 per cent (C.J. van Rijsbergen) are be By will of the

  10. Step2:Stemming • Def: Stemming : The process of chopping the ending of a term, e.g. removing “ed”, ”ing” • Algorithm Porter

  11. Processor Processor Input Input • This part of the IR system are concerned with the retrieval process • Structuring the documents in an appropriate way • Performing actual retrieval function, using a predefined model

  12. Processor Output output Input • The output will be a set of documents, assumed to be relevant to users. • Purpose of IR: • Retrieved all relevant documents • Retrieved irrelevant documents as few as possible

  13. Relevant docs retrieved • Definition relevant docs Relevant docs retrieved All docs retrieved

  14. Returns relevant documents but misses many useful ones too The ideal Returns most relevant documents but includes lots of junk 1 Precision 0 1 Recall

  15. Information Retrieval Models • Classical models • Boolean model • Vector model • Novel models • Latent semantic indexing model • Correlation method

  16. Boolean model • Earliest and simplest method, widely used in IR systems today • Based on set theories and Boolean algebra. • Queries are Boolean expressions of keywords, connected by operators AND, OR, ANDNOT • Ex: (Saint Petersburg AND Russia) | (beautiful city AND Russia)

  17. Inverted files are widely used • Ex: • Term1 : doc 2 , doc 5, doc6 ; • Term2 : doc 2, doc4, doc5; • Query : q = (term1 AND term2) • Result: doc2, doc5 • Term-document matrix can be used

  18. Thinking about Boolean model • Advantages: • Very simple model based on sets theory • Easy to understand and implement • Supports exact query • Disadvantages: • Retrieval based on binary decision criteria , without notion of partial matching • Sets are easy, but complex Boolean expressions are not • The Boolean queries formulated by users are most often so simplistic • Retrieves so many or so few documents • Gives unranked results

  19. Vector Model • Why Vector Model ? • Boolean model • just takes into account the existence or nonexistence of terms in a document • Has no sense about their different contributions to documents

  20. Overview theory of vector model • Documents and queries are displayed as vectors in index-term space • Space dimension is equal to the vocabulary size • Components of these vectors: the weights of the corresponding index term, which reflects its significant in terms of representative and discrimination power • Retrieval is based on whether the “query vector” and “document vector” are closed enough.

  21. Set of document: • A finite set of terms : • Every document can be displayed as vector: • the same to the query:

  22. j dj  • Similarity of query q and document d: • Given a threshold , all documents with similarity > threshold are retrieved q i

  23. Compute a good weight • A variety of weighting schemes are available • They are based on three proven principles: • Terms that occur in only a few documents are more valuable than ones that appear in many • The more often a term occur in a document, the more likely it is to be important to that document • A term that appears the same number of times in a short document and in a long one is likely to be more available for the former

  24. tf-idf-dl (tf-idf) scheme • The term frequency of a term ti in document dj: • The length of document dj: • DLj = total number of terms occurrences in document dj • Inverted document frequency: collection of N documents, inverted document frequency of a term ti that appears in n document is : • Weight:

  25. Think about Vector model • Advantages: • Term weighting improves the quality of the answer • Partial matching allows to retrieve the documents that approximate the query conditions • Cosine ranking formula sorts the answer • Disadvantages • Assumes the independences of terms • Polysemy and synonymy problem are unsolved

  26. Modern models of IR • Why ? • Problems with polysemy: • Bass (fish or music ?) • Problems with synonymy: • Car or automobile ? • These failures can be traced to : • The way index terms are identified is incomplete • Lack of efficient methods to deal with polysemy • Idea to solve this problem: take the advance of implicit higher order structure(latent) in the association terms with documents .

  27. Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) • LSI overview • Representing documents roughly by terms is unreliability, ambiguity and redundancy • Should find a method , which can : • Documents and terms are displayed as vectors in a k-dim concepts space. Its weights indicating the strength of association with each of these concepts • That method should be flexible enough to remove the weak concepts, considered as noises

  28. d1 d2 …. dm t1 w11 w12 … w1m t2 w21 w22 … w2m : : : : : : : : tn wn1 wn2 … wnm • Document-term matrix A[mxn] are built • Matrix A is factored in to 3 matrices, using Singular value decomposition SVD • U,V are orthogonal matrices

  29. These special matrices show a break down of the original relationship (doc-term) to a linearly independent components (factors) • Many of these components are very small: ( considered as noises) and should be ignored

  30. Criteria to choose k: • Ignore noises • Important information are not lost • Documents and terms are displayed as vectors in k-dim space • Theory Eckart & Young ensures us about not losing important information

  31. Query • Should find a method to display a query to k-dim space • Query q can be seen as a document. • From equation: • We have

  32. Similarity between objects • Term-Term: • Dot product between two rows vector of matrix Ak reflects the similarity between two terms • Term-term similarity matrix : • Can consider the rows of matrix as coordinate of terms. • The relation between taking rows of as coordinate and rows of as coordinates is simple

  33. Document-document • Dot product between two columns vectors of matrix Ak reflect the similarity between two documents. • Can consider the row of matrix as coordinates of documents. • Term-document • This value can be obtained by looking at the element of matrix Ak • Drawback: between and within comparisons can not be done simultaneously without resizing the coordinate.

  34. Example • q1: human machine interface for Lab ABC computer applications • q2: a survey of user opinion of computer system response time. • q3: the EPS user interface management system • q4: System and human system engineering testing of EPS • q5:Relation of user-perceived response time to error measurement • q6: The generation of random, binary, unordered tree • q7: The intersection graph of paths in trees • q8: Graph minors IV: Widths of trees and well-quasi-ordering • q9: Graph minors: A survey

  35. Numerical results

  36. Query: human computer interaction

  37. Updating • Folding in • New document • New terms and docs has no effect on the presentation of pre-existing docs and terms • Re-computing SVD • Re-compute SVD • Requires times and memory • Choosing one of these two methods

  38. Think about LSI • Advantages: • Synonymy problem is solved • Displaying documents in a more reliable space: Concepts space • Disadvantages: • Polysemy problem is still unsolved • A special algorithms for handling with large size matrices should be implemented

  39. Correlation Method • Idea: If a keyword is present in the document, correlated keywords should be taken into account as well. So, the concepts containing in the document aren’t obscured by the choices of a specific vocabulary. • In vector space model: similarity vector : Depend on the user query q, we now build the best query, taking the correlated keyword into account as well.

  40. The correlation matrix is built based on the term-document matrix • Let: A is the term-document matrix • D : number of document, is the mean vector. Clearly that : • Covariance matrix is computed: • Correlation Matrix S :

  41. Better query: • We now use SVD to reduce noises in the correlation of keywords: • We choose the first k largest factors to obtain the k dimensional of S • Generate our best query: • Vector of similarity : • Define a projection, defined by :

  42. Strength of correlation method • In real world, correlation between words are static. • Number of terms has a higher stability level when comparing with number of documents • Number of documents are many times larger than number of keywords. • This method is able to handle database with a very large number of documents and doesn’t have to update the correlation matrix every time adding new documents. • Its importance in the electronic networks.
