Document Retrieval using Predication Similarity
Document retrieval has been an important research problem over many years in the information retrieval community. State-of-the-art techniques utilize various methods in matching documents to a given document including keywords, phrases, and annotations. In this paper, we propose a new approach for document retrieval that utilizes predications (subject-predicate-object triples) extracted from the documents. We represent documents as sets of predications. We measure the similarity between predications to compute the similarity between documents. Our approach utilizes the hierarchical information available in ontologies in computing concept-concept similarity, making the approach flexible. Predication-based document similarity is more precise and forms the basis for a semantically aware document retrieval system. We show that the approach is competitive with an existing state-of-the-art related document retrieval technique in the biomedical domain.

Assessing Polyseme Sense Similarity through Co-predication Acceptability and Contextualised Embedding Distance
Co-predication is one of the most frequently used linguistic tests to tell apart shifts in polysemic sense from changes in homonymic meaning. It is increasingly coming under criticism as evidence is accumulating that it …
Word EmbeddingsPre-training for Information Retrieval: Are Hyperlinks Fully Explored?
Recent years have witnessed great progress on applying pre-trained language models, e.g., BERT, to information retrieval (IR) tasks. Hyperlinks, which are commonly used in Web pages, have been leveraged for designing pre…
