Query matching
nBoth query and
text descriptors for HLFs are short
nQuestion: how to expand query and relate query to relevant HLFs?
nUtilize WordNet to
perform expansion of both:
nUse synonym, hypernym and
hyponym as usual
nUse also terms from WordNet
glosses, which provides visual information about an object
-- its shape, color, nature and texture
nExample:
nFrom WordNet hierarchy: Boat à “is-a kind of
vessel”
nFrom WordNet gloss: Boat à “a small vessel for
travel on water”
è able to relate boat to “travel on water”
