For this purpose, we use synonymy\nrelations in FarsNet and extract the related synonyms to query words. This\nalgorithm is used to enhance information retrieval systems and improve search\nresults. The overall evaluation of this system in comparison to the baseline\nmethod (without using query expansion) shows an improvement of about 9 percent\nin Mean Average Precision (MAP).","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1811.00854v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.00854v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"improving-information-retrieval-results-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/adelra/query-expansion","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"information-retrieval","task_name":"Information Retrieval"},{"task_slug":"retrieval","task_name":"Retrieval"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
