Query categorization helps manage search results. Our system uses lexical and semantic analysis to categorize user queries, improving information retrieval and organization.

Area of Science:

  • Information Science
  • Computer Science
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Information retrieval systems often yield overwhelming results due to suboptimal user queries.
  • Effective query formulation is crucial for efficient access to relevant information.
  • Organizing retrieved documents requires understanding the user's information need.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a system for categorizing user queries.
  • To improve the reformulation and organization of search results.
  • To bridge the gap between user query and information need.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phased approach for query categorization was implemented.
  • Phase 1: Lexical analysis to identify query components.

  • Phase 2: Semantic analysis to understand query meaning and intent.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed system effectively categorizes user queries.
    • Query categorization accuracy shows reasonable correspondence with expert assessments.
    • The system's performance was validated against medical librarians and physicians.

    Conclusions:

    • Query categorization is a viable strategy to enhance information retrieval.
    • The proposed system demonstrates effectiveness in abstracting user queries into common types.
    • This approach facilitates improved query reformulation and document organization.
