A Representation Model based on Wordnet Meanings for Internet Search
Andrés Carretero, Francisco P. Romero, José A. Olivas
The majority of search engines obviate
the different meanings of the words
used in the searching process.
Introducing meanings in this process
could improve the results, but the use of
wrong meanings could produce worse
results. To deal with this problem, in
this work is presented a document
representation model based on
meanings. In this model is developed an
automatic word sense disambiguation
process. Index terms are associated
with their corresponding meanings in
WordNet. The model proposed is
implemented in an experimental search
engine called Bianca which has been
tested using standard measures. The
achieved results are compared with a
classic word searcher.
