When Web-based special retrieval systems for scientific field extremely restrict the expression of user's information request, the process of the information content analysis and that of the information acquisition become inconsistent. In this paper, we apply the fuzzy retrieval model to solve the high time complexity of the retrieval system by constructing a reduced term set for the term's relatively importance degree. Furthermore, we perform a cluster retrieval to reflect the user's Query exactly through the similarity relation matrix satisfying the characteristics of the fuzzy compatibility relation. We have proven the performance of a proposed re-ranking model based on the similarity union of the fuzzy retrieval model and the document cluster retrieval model.

This paper presents a cluster-based image retrieval method. It retrieves images from a related cluster after classifying images into clusters using RAGMD, a clustering technique. When images are retrieved, first they are retrieved not from the whole image database one by one but from the similar cluster, a similar small image group with a query image. So it gives us retrieval-time reduction, keeping almost the same precision with the exhaustive retrieval. In the experiment using an image database consisting of about 2,400 real images, it shows that the proposed method is about 18 times faster than 7he exhaustive method with almost same precision and it can retrieve more similar images which belong to the same class with a query image.

This article surveys recent research in the area of language modeling (sometimes called statistical language modeling) approaches to information retrieval. Language modeling is a formal probabilistic retrieval framework with roots in speech recognition and natural language processing. The underlying assumption of language modeling is that human language generation is a random process; the goal is to model that process via a generative statistical model. In this article, we discuss current research in the application of language modeling to information retrieval, the role of semantics in the language modeling framework, cluster-based language models, use of language modeling for XML retrieval and future trends.

Results of using principal component analysis prior to cluster analysis are compared with results from applying agglomerative clustering algorithm alone. The retrieval ability of the agglomerative clustering algorithm is improved by using principal components prior to cluster analysis in some situations. On the other hand, the loss in retrieval ability for the agglomerative clustering algorithms decreases, as the number of informative variables increases, where the informative variables are the variables that have distinct information(or, necessary information) compared to other variables.

The objectives of this paper are twofold. First is to introduce a model for representing documents with semantics relatedness using rough sets but with tolerance relations instead of equivalence relations (TRSM). Second is to introduce two document hierarchical and nonhierarchical clustering algorithms based on this model and TRSM cluster-based information retrieval using these two algorithms. The experimental results show that TRSM offers an alterative approach to text clustering and information retrieval.

The growth of the propagated NFC provides the various services with respect to internet applications, which it can be predicted from the simple internet services to the privated services. This paper proposes the clustering of information retrieval system model using NFC tag of access information for utilizing the similar information of the tag. The proposed model can search the similar information of the tag using the access information of NFC tag. In addition, it can cluster the similar retrieval information into topic cluster for utilizaing users.

We present a relevance feedback approach based on multi-class support vector machine (SVM) learning and cluster-merging which can significantly improve the retrieval performance in region-based image retrieval. Semantically relevant images may exhibit various visual characteristics and may be scattered in several classes in the feature space due to the semantic gap between low-level features and high-level semantics in the user's mind. To find the semantic classes through relevance feedback, the proposed method reduces the burden of completely re-clustering the classes at iterations and classifies multiple classes. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective and efficient than the two-class SVM and multi-class relevance feedback methods.

Recent content-based image retrieval systems make use of a local single server contained a limited number of images. So these systems are not satisfactory for the Web user's needs that make request for various images on the Web. A content-based image retrieval system that has regard for a great number of Web images has to stand on the basis of real-time first of all. Therefore, to implement the above system we have to resolve a problem of large waste time to take for an image collection and feature extractions. In recent, PC clusters with a load distribution are implemented for the purpose of high-performance data processing. In this paper, we decreased the whole retrieval time by distributing the tasks of image collection and feature extraction to take much time among the slave computers of the PC cluster, and so we found the possibility of the real-time processing in the retrieval of Web images.

In retrieving large database of image data, the clustering is essential for fast retrieval. However, it is difficult to cluster a number of image data adequately. Moreover, current retrieval methods using similarities are uncertain of retrieval accuracy and take much retrieving time. In this paper, a suggested image retrieval system combines Fuzzy ART neural network algorithm to reinforce defects and to support them efficiently. This image retrieval system takes color and texture as specific feature required in retrieval system and normalizes each of them. We adapt Fuzzy ART algorithm as neural network which receive normalized input-vector and propose improved Fuzzy ART algorithm. The result of implementation with 200 image data shows approximately retrieval ratio of 83%.

Conventional database retrieval system have problems of being able to select data out of database only if the data exactly equal to retrieval conditions offered by users. If there are no data in database which exactly equal to users retrieval conditionals, the system can not provide adequate data. To solve these problems, cluster increase of FCM and re-initialization of algorithm were suggested in this study. And by interlocking knowledge-based database, built with FCM, to image database, new retrieval system was built to provide the data which are most appropriate for the requirement of users. We applied this new retrieval system to gift selection database system in pamphlet of mail order, and confirmed its effectiveness.
