A discovery system for narrative query graphs: entity-interaction-aware document retrieval.
Finding relevant publications in the scientific domain can be quite tedious: Accessing large-scale document collections often means to formulate an initial keyword-based query followed by many refinements to retrieve a sufficiently complete, yet manageable set of documents to satisfy one's information need. Since keyword-based search limits researchers to formulating their information needs as a set of unconnected keywords, retrieval systems try to guess each user's intent. In contrast, distilling short narratives of the searchers' information needs into simple, yet precise entity-interaction graph patterns provides all information needed for a precise search. As an additional benefit, such graph patterns may also feature variable nodes to flexibly allow for different substitutions of entities taking a specified role. An evaluation over the PubMed document collection quantifies the gains in precision for our novel entity-interaction-aware search. Moreover, we perform expert interviews and a questionnaire to verify the usefulness of our system in practice. This paper extends our previous work by giving a comprehensive overview about the discovery system to realize narrative query graph retrieval.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL) examines the theory and practice of acquisition definition organization management preservation and dissemination of digital information via global networking. It covers all aspects of digital libraries (DLs) from large-scale heterogeneous data and information management & access to linking and connectivity to security privacy and policies to its application use and evaluation.The scope of IJDL includes but is not limited to: The FAIR principle and the digital libraries infrastructure Findable: Information access and retrieval; semantic search; data and information exploration; information navigation; smart indexing and searching; resource discovery Accessible: visualization and digital collections; user interfaces; interfaces for handicapped users; HCI and UX in DLs; Security and privacy in DLs; multimodal access Interoperable: metadata (definition management curation integration); syntactic and semantic interoperability; linked data Reusable: reproducibility; Open Science; sustainability profitability repeatability of research results; confidentiality and privacy issues in DLs Digital Library Architectures including heterogeneous and dynamic data management; data and repositories Acquisition of digital information: authoring environments for digital objects; digitization of traditional content Digital Archiving and Preservation Digital Preservation and curation Digital archiving Web Archiving Archiving and preservation Strategies AI for Digital Libraries Machine Learning for DLs Data Mining in DLs NLP for DLs Applications of Digital Libraries Digital Humanities Open Data and their reuse Scholarly DLs (incl. bibliometrics altmetrics) Epigraphy and Paleography Digital Museums Future trends in Digital Libraries Definition of DLs in a ubiquitous digital library world Datafication of digital collections Interaction and user experience (UX) in DLs Information visualization Collection understanding Privacy and security Multimodal user interfaces Accessibility (or "Access for users with disabilities") UX studies
