Concept Based vs. Pseudo Relevance Feedback Performance Evaluation for Information Retrieval System
This work addresses query reformulation for Arabic information retrieval, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods to a specific language corpus.
The paper compared concept-based and pseudo relevance feedback query reformulation techniques for Arabic text retrieval, finding that pseudo relevance feedback improved performance more effectively.
This article evaluates the performance of two techniques for query reformulation in a system for information retrieval, namely, the concept based and the pseudo relevance feedback reformulation. The experiments performed on a corpus of Arabic text have allowed us to compare the contribution of these two reformulation techniques in improving the performance of an information retrieval system for Arabic texts.
