  1. LINC Research Update 26 Aug 2005

  2. Agenda • Overview of project • Status from last time • Metasearch and automated interlibrary loan (Danny) • Second generation LINC prototype (Min) • Feedback from Libraries • Wrap-up Fall LINC Research Update

  3. Corpus-Based Query Expansion • Internal, School of Computing project, with an emphasis on using query logs • 3 year project, starting third year now • Milestones left to pursue: • Integration of various component systems • Simple to advanced query inference • Integration with LINC if feasible Fall LINC Research Update

  4. Recap: Innopac Properties • Improve upon LINC catalog service • Innopac properties: • No spelling correction • Weak query expansion • No capability to track sessions • Case insensitive • Stopwords also searched for (e.g. ‘the’) • Advanced queries rarely used • Sorting could be improved Fall LINC Research Update

  5. Past Work • Spelling Correction (e.g., spellign correctoin) • Phrase Structure Expansion (e.g., “precast concrete” structures) • Morphological Expansion (e.g., conflict OR conflicts of interest OR interests) • LCSH-based Expansion (Use top-fetched items to expand query using their subject headers) • Known Item Detection (Guess whether the person is trying to locate a specific title) Fall LINC Research Update

  6. LINC 2 Prototype

  7. Control Flow • Do four processes for each query • Tag the query with English POS Required for next two modules • Spelling Correction • Known Item Detection • Execution with the query “as-is” Fall LINC Research Update

  8. Control Flow Diagram Fall LINC Research Update

  9. Available at • http://linc.comp.nus.edu.sg/ Research prototype, may not always be up. • Based on .7M MARC records in training DB. • Does keywords search over agglomerated fields from record Fall LINC Research Update

  10. Always let user know we are in the Library site Always let user know where she is in the searching process Hide advanced search from novices Show circulation info and call no. as we assume patron searchto find title on shelves. Fall LINC Research Update

  11. Do spelling correction only when confident Fall LINC Research Update

  12. Zoom to record when guessed to be known item with high confidence Fall LINC Research Update

  13. Do query expansion for smart backoff when no or not many results found Fall LINC Research Update

  14. Metasearching and ILL demo Fall LINC Research Update

  15. InterLibrary Loan System 1) Request for book at Target Library Source Student 5)Update on the status of the Loan and arrival Date 3) Email sent to target librarian for loan of the book. 2) Email sent to source librarian for student identity and availability of book at source library 4) Response to the loan and enter the arrival date of the book if necessary If loan approved, book will be deliver to source library Source Library Target Library Fall LINC Research Update

  30. Benefits to Libraries

  31. How libraries benefits • Involvement in the next level of OPAC development • Proactive development of OPAC interface and acting on feedback from patrons • Get wish list done by research group Fall LINC Research Update

  32. Feedback from you • Any new needs from Libraries in terms of LINC? • Mirror system: http://linc.comp.nus.edu.sg/ Thanks for your attention! Fall LINC Research Update
