Computational Models for IR 1. Need framework for designing concept-based IR models. 2. Can we draw upon backgrounds and experiences of computer scientists and mathematicians? 3. Effective indexing should address issues of scale and accuracy. IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
The Vector Space Model • Represent terms and documents as vectors in k-dimensional space • Similarity computed by measures such as cosine or Euclidean distance • Early prototype - SMART system developed by Salton et al. [70’s, 80’s] IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Motivation for LSI Two fundamental query matching problems: synonymy (image, likeness, portrait, facsimile, icon) polysemy (Adam’s apple, patient’s discharge, culture) IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Motivation for LSI Approach Treat word to document association data as an unreliable estimate of a larger set of applicable words. Goal Cluster similar documents which may share no terms in a low-dimensional subspace (improve recall). IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
LSI Approach • Preprocessing Compute low-rank approximation to the original term-by-document (sparse) matrix • Vector Space Model Encode terms and documents using factors derived from SVD (ULV, SDD) • Postprocessing Rank similarity of terms and docs to query via Euclid. distances or cosines IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000

Vector Space Dimension • Want minimum no. of factors (k ) that discriminates most concepts • In practice, k ranges between 100 and 300 but could be much larger. • Choosing optimal k for different collections is challenging. IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Strengths of LSI • Completely automatic no stemming required, allow misspellings • Multilanguage search capability Landauer (Colorado), Littman (Duke) • Conceptual IR capability (Recall) Retrieve relevant documents that do not contain any search terms IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Changing the LSI Model • Updating Folding-in new terms or documents [Deerwester et al. ‘90] SVD-updating [O’Brien ‘94], [Simon & Zha ‘97] • Downdating Modify SVD w.r.t. term or document deletions [Berry & Witter ‘98] IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Recent LSI-based Research • Implementation of kd-trees to reduce query matching complexity (Hughey & Berry ‘00, Info. Retrieval ) • Unsupervised learning model for data mining electronic commerce data (J. Jiang et al. ‘99, IDA) IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Recent LSI-based Research • Nonlinear SVD approach for constraint-based feedback (E. Jiang & Berry ‘00, Lin. Alg. & Applications) • Future incorporation of up- and down-dating into LSI-based client/servers IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Information Filtering Concept: Reduce a large document collection to a reasonably sized set of potential retrievable documents. Goal: Produce a relatively small subset containing a high proportion of relevant documents. IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Approach: Level Search Reduce sparse SVD computation cost by selecting a small subset from the original term-by-document matrix Use undirected graphic model . . . Term or document: vertices Term weight: edge weight Term in document or document containing term: edges in graph IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Level Search IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Similarity measures • Recall: ratio of no. of documents retrieved that are relevant to totalno. of relevant documents. • Precision: ratio of no. of documents retrieved that are relevant to total no. of documents. retrieved IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000

Impact • Level Search is a simple and cost-effective filtering method for LSI; scalable IR. • May reduce the effective term-by-document matrix size by 75% with nosignificant loss of LSI precision (less than 5%). IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
Some Future Challenges for LSI • Agent-based software for indexing remote/distributed collections • Effective updating with global weighting • Incorporate phrases and proximity • Expand cosine matching to incorporate other similarity-based data (e.g., images) • Optimal number of dimensions IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Text Mining, Apr 17, 2000
