Paper Abstract:
|
We present a new context-based information retrieval (IR) system where users could indicate the context in which they are seeking information. We use a novel way of representing context based on the type of information. The context defined in this manner is most intuitive to the user and originates from their information need in a problem-solving situation. This paper presents context categories for documents in computing and information technology domain and offers a new methodology for assigning context to documents in a collection. This methodology showed promising results and the
inter-assigner consistency quite comparable to the results reported in literature. This new
context-based information retrieval system overcomes major limitations of the keyword based IR systems currently in use and provides improved performance. |
