Information retrieval has a well-established tradition of performing laboratory experiments on test collections to compare the relative effectiveness of different retrieval approaches. The experimental design specifies the evaluation criterion to be used to determine if one approach is better than another. Retrieval behavior is sufficiently complex to be difficult to summarize in one number, many different effectiveness measures have been proposed. A concept model is implicitly possessed by users and is generated from their background knowledge. This model learns ontological user profiles from both a world knowledge base and user local instance repositories. The ontology model is evaluated by comparing it against benchmark models in web information gathering. The results show that this ontology model is successful.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
