Generating Query Facets Using

The document discusses a new method for generating query facets by leveraging knowledge bases, specifically Freebase, to improve the coverage and quality of facet items compared to existing algorithms that rely solely on top search results. The proposed system combines facet generation from entity properties and facet expansion from traditional algorithms to enhance recall without sacrificing accuracy. Experimental results indicate that this approach, termed QDMKB, significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of facet item recall.

Generating Query Facets using Knowledge Bases

ABSTRACT:

A query facet is a significant list of information nuggets that explains an


underlying aspect of a query. Existing algorithms mine facets of a query by
extracting frequent lists contained in top search results. The coverage of facets and
facet items mined by this kind of methods might be limited, because only a small
number of search results are used. In order to solve this problem, we propose
mining query facets by using knowledge bases which contain high-quality
structured data. Specifically, we first generate facets based on the properties of the
entities which are contained in Freebase and correspond to the query. Second, we
mine initial query facets from search results, then expanding them by finding
similar entities from Freebase. Experimental results show that our proposed
method can significantly improve the coverage of facet items over the state-of-the-
art algorithms.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

 Existing query facet mining algorithms mainly rely on the top search results
from search engines.
 Dou et al. first introduced the concept of query dimensions, which is the
same concept as query facet discussed in this paper. They proposed
QDMiner, a system that can automatically mine query facets by aggregating
frequent lists contained in the results. The lists are extracted by HTML tags
(like <select> and <table>), text patterns, and repeat content blocks
contained in web pages.
 Kong et al. proposed two supervised methods, namely QF-I and QF-J, to
mine query facets from the results.
 In all these existing solutions, facet items are extracted from the top search
results from a search engine (e.g., top 100 search results from Bing.com).
More specifically, facet items are extracted from the lists contained in the
results

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:

 Many users are not satisfied with this kind of conventional search result
pages.
 This usually takes a lot of time and troubles the users.
 The problem is that the coverage of facets mined using this kind of methods
might be limited, because some useful words or phrases might not appear in
a list within the search results used and they have no opportunity to be
mined.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
 We propose leveraging a knowledge base as a complementary data source to
improve the quality of query facets. Knowledge bases contain high quality
structured information such as entities and their properties and are especially
useful when the query is related to an entity.
 We propose using both knowledge bases and search results to mine query
facets in this paper. The reason why we don’t abandon search results is that
search results reflect user intent and provide abundant context for facet
generation and expansion.
 Our target is to improve the recall of facet and facet items by utilizing
entities and their properties contained in knowledge bases, and at the same
time, make sure that the accuracy of facet items are not harmed too much.
Our approach consists of two methods which are facet generation and facet
expansion.
 In facet generation, we directly use properties of entities corresponding to a
query as its facet candidates. In facet expansion, we expand initial facets
mined by traditional algorithms such as QDMiner to find more similar items
contained in a knowledge base such as Freebase1. The facets constructed by
the two methods are further merged and ranked to generate final query
facets.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:


 Experimental results show that our proposed method QDMKB significantly
outperforms all state-of-the art methods including QDMiner, QF-I, and QF-
J.
 It yields significantly higher recall of facet items.
