QUERY PROCESSING FOR ENTERPRISE SEARCH WITH WIKIPEDIA LINK STRUCTURE

Abstract

We present a phrase based query expansion (QE) technique for enterprise search using a domain independent concept thesaurus constructed from Wikipedia link structure. Our approach analyzes article and category link information for deriving sets of related concepts for building up the thesaurus. In addition, we build a vocabulary set containing natural word order and usage which semantically represent concepts. We extract query-representational concepts from vocabulary set with a three layered approach. Concept Thesaurus then yields related concepts for expanding a query. Evaluation on TRECENT 2007 data shows an impressive 9 percent increase in recall for fifty queries. In addition to we also observed that our implementation improves precision at top k results by 0.7, 1, 6 and 9 percent for top 10, top 20, top 50 and top 100 search results respectively, thus demonstrating the promise that Wikipedia based thesaurus holds in domain specific search.
