  1. Searching CiteSeer Metadata Using Nutch Larry Reeve INFO624 – Information Retrieval Dr. Lin – Winter 2005

  2. CiteSeer

  3. CiteSeer • Search Issues • Keyword-based full-text search • Boolean search syntax • How to… • search by author name? • search author affiliation? • search by publication date?

  4. CiteSeer • Example: • Suggested author search approach: • For authors, list all variants that appear in citations, separated by “OR“ • Examples: • m jordan or michael jordan or m i jordan or michael i jordan • howard w/2 white or h w/2 white

  5. CiteSeer – phrase search

  6. CiteSeer – term search

  7. Goal • Search selected metadata fields • Author name • Author affiliation • Publication Date (month, day, year) • Title • Others… • Increase precision

  8. Methodology - Nutch • An open-source web search engine • Includes crawling, indexing, searching • Technologies: Java, JSP, Tomcat • Extensible • new fields • new parsing/indexing facilities • adapt UI for searching

  9. Methodology - Metadata

  10. Methodology 1) Split XML file into HTML documents • Each HTML doc contains metadata • Allows existing crawler to be used/extended 2) Crawl and index HTML documents on local filesystem 3) Search generated index using JSP page

  11. Methodology Implemented as part of project XML File (100 records) Split Program 100 HTML Documents Nutch Crawler Parse Filter Index Filter Nutch Search (JSP) Query Filter

  12. XML to HTML Split

  13. Methodology - Split

  14. Methodology – Crawl/Index • Requires 2 filters to process metadata • CSParseFilter • Parses HTML for metadata values • Implements Nutch HtmlParseFilter interface • CSIndexingFilter • Uses metadata generated by ParseFilter • Adds metadata to index • Implements Nutch IndexingFilter interface

  15. Parse Filter – extract metadata

  16. Index Filter

  17. Methodology – Query • Modification of Nutch search page • Change URL from filesystem metadata HTML to CiteSeer • Change to 20 hits, to match CiteSeer • Query filter • Handles custom fields from index filter • Prefixed with cs_ • Implements Nutch QueryFilter interface

  18. Query Filter

  19. Evaluation • Testing for precision/recall • 100 documents • Stress test • 10,000 documents • Approx 10 mins to crawl/index • 575,000 documents in CiteSeer metadata download • (716,797 documents in CiteSeer) • 3.5 hours to split XML into HTML • 12 hours to crawl/index • ~551,000 indexed during crawling

  20. Evaluation • Precision & recall • Use first 100 docs (easy to measure recall) • Issue queries • Author last name • Author first & last name • Author affiliation • Precision • Use max docs in each system • Issue author search queries to both systems • Measure precision on each page of 20 hits

  21. Evaluation – P & R • Look for all papers where Peter Lee is an author (1 document) • cs_authorlast:lee • Returns 3 documents, all with last name of Lee • P=.33, R=1 • cs_authorlast:lee cs_authorfirst:peter • Returns single document • P=1, R=1

  22. Evaluation - Precision • Author search: • Q1: Peter Lee • Project: cs_authorfirst:peter cs_authorlast:lee • CiteSeer: peter w/2 lee • Q2: Jeffrey Ullman • Project: cs_authorfirst:jeffrey cs_authorlast:ullman • CiteSeer: jeffrey w/2 ullman • Q3: John Smith • Project: cs_authorfirst:john cs_authorlast:smith • CiteSeer: john w/2 smith

  23. Evaluation - Precision

  24. Search Demo • Available fields: • cs_authorfirst • cs_authorlast • cs_authoraffiliation • cs_pubyear • cs_pubmonth
