The explosive growth of the World Wide Web is making it difficult for a user to locate information that isrelevant to his/her interest. Though existing search engines work well to a certain extent but they still faceproblems like word mismatch which arises because the majority of information retrieval systemscompare query and document terms on lexical level rather than on semantic level and short query: theaverage length of queries by the user is less than two words. Short queries and the incompatibilitybetween the terms in user queries and documents strongly affect the retrieval of relevant document.Query expansion has long been suggested as a technique to increase the effectiveness of the informationretrieval. Query expansion is the process of supplementing additional terms or phrases to the originalquery to improve the retrieval performance. The central problem of query expansion is the selection ofthe expansion terms based on which user’s original query is expanded. Thesaurus helps to solve thisproblem. Thesaurus have frequently been incorporated in information retrieval system for identifying thesynonymous expressions and linguistic entities that are semantically similar. Thesaurus has been widelyused in many applications, including information retrieval and natural language processing. |
