Text categorization is one of important features in information searching system which classifies documents according to some criteria. The general method of categorization performs the classification of the target documents by eliciting important index words and providing the weight on them. Therefore, the effectiveness of algorithm is so important since performance and correctness of text categorization totally depends on such algorithm. In this paper, an enhanced method for text categorization by improving word weighting technique is introduced. A method called Okapi BM25 has been proved its effectiveness from some information retrieval engines. We applied Okapi BM25 and showed its good performance in the categorization. Various other words weights methods are compared: TF-IDF, TF-ICF and TF-ISF. The target documents used for this experiment is Reuter-21578, and SVM and KNN algorithms are used. Finally, modified Okapi BM25 shows the most excellent performance.

This paper proposes a passage retrieval system based on Okapi's BM25 for developing an efficient QA system and evaluates performances of the passage retrieval system. The test collection of TREC Q&A track which is composed of about one million documents was indexed and a hundred queries of TREC Q&A track are used as testing queries. The experimental results shows that the proposed passage retrieval system can reach to 100% recall rate by searching in only 1700 sentences while the conventional document retrieval system have to search about 120 thousands sentences which are about 70 times more than the proposed passage retrieval system.

In this paper, we propose a new language model, namely, a dependency structure language model, for information retrieval to compensate for the weaknesses of unigram and bigram language models. The dependency structure language model is based on the first-order dependency model and the dependency parse tree generated by a linguistic parser. So, long-distance dependencies can be naturally captured by the dependency structure language model. We carried out extensive experiments to verify the proposed model, where the dependency structure model gives a better performance than recently proposed language models and the Okapi BM25 method, and the dependency structure is more effective than unigram and bigram in language modeling for information retrieval.

FAQ 시스템은 주어진 질문과 가장 유사한 질의를 찾아 이에 대한 답을 제공하는 시스템이다. 질의 간의 유사도를 측정하기 위해 문장을 벡터로 표현하며 일반적으로 TFIDF, Okapi BM25와 같은 방법으로 계산한 단어 가중치 벡터를 이용하여 문장을 표현한다. 하지만 단어 가중치 벡터는 어휘적 정보를 표현하는데 유용한 반면 단어의 의미적인(semantic) 정보는 표현하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이를 보완하고자 딥러닝을 이용한 문장 임베딩을 구축하고 단어 가중치 벡터와 문장 임베딩을 조합한 문장 유사도 계산 모델을 제안한다. 또한 문장 임베딩 구현 시 self-attention 기법을 적용하여 문장 내 중요한 부분에 가중치를 주었다. 실험 결과 제안하는 유사도 계산 모델은 비교 모델에 비해 모두 높은 성능을 보였고 self-attention을 적용한 실험에서는 추가적인 성능 향상이 있었다.

This paper proposes a novel knowledge extraction system, TAKES (Two-step Approach for Knowledge Extraction System), which integrates advanced techniques from Information Retrieval (IR), Information Extraction (IE), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). In particular, TAKES adopts a novel keyphrase extraction-based query expansion technique to collect promising documents. It also uses a Conditional Random Field-based machine learning technique to extract important biological entities and relations. TAKES is applied to biological knowledge extraction, particularly retrieving promising documents that contain Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) and extracting PPI pairs. TAKES consists of two major components: DocSpotter, which is used to query and retrieve promising documents for extraction, and a Conditional Random Field (CRF)-based entity extraction component known as FCRF. The present paper investigated research problems addressing the issues with a knowledge extraction system and conducted a series of experiments to test our hypotheses. The findings from the experiments are as follows: First, the author verified, using three different test collections to measure the performance of our query expansion technique, that DocSpotter is robust and highly accurate when compared to Okapi BM25 and SLIPPER. Second, the author verified that our relation extraction algorithm, FCRF, is highly accurate in terms of F-Measure compared to four other competitive extraction algorithms: Support Vector Machine, Maximum Entropy, Single POS HMM, and Rapier.
