Improving the performance of KSORD systems is a critical issue in this area. In this paper, a new approach CLASCN （Classification, Learning And Selection of Candidate Network） is developed to efficiently perform top-κ keyword queries in schema-graph-based online KSORD systems. In this approach, the Candidate Networks （CNs） from trained keyword queries or executed user queries are classified and stored in the databases, and top-κ results from the CNs are learned for constructing CN Language Models （CNLMs）. The CNLMs are used to compute the similarity scores between a new user query and the CNs from the query. The CNs with relatively large similarity score, which are the most promising ones to produce top-κ results, will be selected and performed. Currently, CLASCN is only applicable for past queries and New All-keyword-Used （NAU） queries which are frequently submitted queries. Extensive experiments also show the efficiency and effectiveness of our CLASCN approach.展开更多
