Information Retrieval Services - Interactive Prototype
The task of the IRM project is to introduce and evaluate value-added services (treatment of term vagueness and document re-ranking) for information retrieval within a heterogeneous Digital Library environment (like sowiport). The methods that are implemented in this prototype focus on query construction and on result set re-ranking and are designed to positively influence each other.
We focus on the following three value-added services:
- Search Term Recommender for term vagueness treatment (query expansion and interactive term-based filtering)
- Bradfordizing and Author Centrality in co-authorship networks which are derived from scientometrics and social network analysis for document re-ranking
