SCALABLE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM IN SEMANTIC WEB BY QUERY EXPANSION AND ONTOLOGICAL BASED LSA RANKING SIMILARITY MEASUREMENT

In recent days, semantic web presents a key role in intelligent retrieval of information system that resolves vocabulary mismatch problem by query expansion process. However, achieving the scalable information retrieval (IR) in semantic web is a challenging issue in a large dataset. The semantic IR problem is addressed by an ontological-based semantic similarity measurement using natural language processing. The two novel algorithms namely syntactic correlation coefficient (SCC) and mapping-based K-nearest neighbour (M-KNN) for semantic similarity measurement is proposed which improves the accuracy of relevant result. The ontological constructs with word sense disambiguation (WSD) algorithm for document repository improves the conceptual relationships, reduces the ambiguities in ontology and improves scalability by intensely analysing the semantic relationship as well as dynamically reconstructing the ontology when numbers of documents are updated. Ranking is done with latent semantic analysis (LSA) after semantic similarity analysis, which improves the retrieved result and reduces the complexity in relevancy. The performance of the system is analysed with respect to different metrics such as processing time, F-measure (0.97), time complexity, precision (0.95), recall (0.98) and space complexity.
