Information retrieval on the world wide web using a decision making system
Françoise Corvaisier, Alain Mille, Jean-Marie Pinon · 1997
It is very easy to be lost when trying to find information on the Web. This paper presents the RADIX system which guides browsing on the Web using a Case-Based Reasoning approach. We recall the CBR cycle and its applications to Information Retrieval (IR). We analyse Information Browsing Session (IBS) structure. A session is cut in semantically an strategically consistent components called Trial Units. Trial Units subpaths of the session path. Trial Units components are defined as Search Units. A Search Unit is an atomic path (node, transition, node) in a Trial Unit. Trial Units and Search Units are automatically detected in order to send session episodes structures. A system to collect cases (browsing episodes) has been developped according to the so defined information browsing model.
