Based on a logical reasoning process and a graphic user-defined process, Smartch provides four kinds of search services. They are basic search, concept search, graphic user-defined query and association relationship search. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional search engine, the recall and precision of Smartch are improved. Graphic user-defined queries can accurately locate the information of user needs. Association relationship search can find complicated relationships between concepts. Smartch can perform some intelligent functions based on ontology inference.展开更多

Based on lexico-syntactic patterns, the hyponymy relationships between ontology concepts can be obtained from the web by search engines and an initial candidate mapping set consisting of ontology concept pairs is generated. According to the concept hierarchies of ontologies, a set of production rules is proposed to delete the concept pairs inconsistent with the ontology semantics from the initial candidate mapping set and add the concept pairs consistent with the ontology semantics to it. Finally, ontology mappings are chosen from the candidate mapping set automatically with a mapping select rule which is based on mutual information. Experimental results show that the F-measure can reach 75% to 100% and it can effectively accomplish the mapping between ontologies.展开更多

The existing search engines selected by meta search engine determine the searching quality. Because the performance of the existing search engines and the users' requests are changed dynamically, it is not favorable for the fixed search engines to optimize the holistic performance of the meta search engine. This paper applies the genetic algorithm (GA) to realize the scheduling strategy of agent manager in our meta search engine, GSE(general search engine), which can simulate the evolution process of living things more lively and more efficiently. By using GA, the combination of search engines can be optimized and hence the holistic performance of GSE can be improved dramatically.展开更多

This is extremely resource consuming because the search engine needs to crawl the web and download web pages to refresh its index, Based on present technologies of web refreshing, we present a cooperative schema between web server and search engine for maintaining freshness of web repository. The web server provides metadata defined through XML standard to describe web sites. Before updating the web page the crawler visits the meta-data files. If the meta-data indicates that the page is not modified, then the crawler will not update it. So this schema can save bandwidth resource. A primitive model based on the schema is implemented. The cost and efficiency of the schema are analyzed.展开更多

The new system, as a middleware between a user and a Web search engine, is set up on the client machine. It can learn a user's preference implicitly and then generate the user profile automatically. When the user inputs query keywords, the system can automatically generate a few personalized expansion words by computing the term-term associations according to the current user profile, and then these words together with the query keywords are submitted to a popular search engine such as Yahoo or Google. These expansion words help to express accurately the user's search intention. The new Web search model can make a common search engine personalized, that is, the search engine can return different search results to different users who input the same keywords. The experimental results show the feasibility and applicability of the presented work.展开更多

In the Rough-CC4, the documents are described by the equivalent classes of the approximate words. By this method, the dimensions representing the documents can be reduced, which can solve the precision problems caused by the different document sizes and also blur the differences caused by the approximate words. In the Rough-CC4, a binary encoding method is introduced, through which the importance of documents relative to each equivalent class is encoded. By this encoding method, the precision of the Rough-CC4 is improved greatly and the space complexity of the Rough-CC4 is reduced. The Rough-CC4 can be used in automatic classification of documents.展开更多

文摘COVID-19 is a devastating pandemic with widespread negative health,social,and economic consequences.Due to drastic changes in the business environment of tour and travel agencies,firms and marketing managers can now use search engine optimization to effectively position themselves.The study’s main goal is to evaluate the effect of search engine optimization on the market performance of registered tours and travel agencies in Nairobi County,Kenya.Kenya’s tourism ministry and state government work hard to improve the business climate for tour and travel companies.Despite the overall positive image,international tourist market growth rates in Kenya have been 3.5 percent slower from 2017 to 2019 compared to previous years.This was further aggregated by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020,when the growth rate of tours and travel agencies fell by 65%.The study’s main goal is to evaluate the effect of search engine optimization on the market performance of registered tours and travel agencies in Nairobi County,Kenya.This study adopted a positivist philosophy.Both descriptive and explanatory research designs were used.A self-administered semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 324 registered tours and travels agencies picked from and a sample of 179 were used.Data analysis included the development and interpretation of both descriptive and inferential statistics,such as frequencies,mean,percentages,and standard deviation,and was presented using tables and numerical values.The results of regression analysis established that search engine optimization had a positive and significant effect on market performance of the registered tours and travel agencies picked from a sample of 179.The study recommends that agency management ensure that the firm’s website is easily accessible in order to improve agency performance.Using the internet to gain a large market share can assist tours and travel agencies in improving the performance and income of their websites.
文摘When conducting a literature review,medical authors typically search for relevant keywords in bibliographic databases or on search engines like Google.After selecting the most pertinent article based on the title’s relevance and the abstract’s content,they download or purchase the article and cite it in their manuscript.Three major elements influence whether an article will be cited in future manuscripts:the keywords,the title,and the abstract.This indicates that these elements are the“key dissemination tools”for research papers.If these three elements are not determined judiciously by authors,it may adversely affect the manuscript’s retrievability,readability,and citation index,which can negatively impact both the author and the journal.In this article,we share our informed perspective on writing strategies to enhance the searchability and citation of medical articles.These strategies are adopted from the principles of search engine optimization,but they do not aim to cheat or manipulate the search engine.Instead,they adopt a reader-centric content writing methodology that targets well-researched keywords to the readers who are searching for them.Reputable journals,such as Nature and the British Medical Journal,emphasize“online searchability”in their author guidelines.We hope that this article will encourage medical authors to approach manuscript drafting from the perspective of“looking inside-out.”In other words,they should not only draft manuscripts around what they want to convey to fellow researchers but also integrate what the readers want to discover.It is a call-to-action to better understand and engage search engine algorithms,so they yield information in a desired and self-learning manner because the“Cloud”is the new stakeholder.

文摘Surveillance is an essential work on infectious diseases prevention and control.When the pandemic occurred,the inadequacy of traditional surveillance was exposed,but it also provided a valuable opportunity to explore new surveillance methods.This study aimed to estimate the transmission dynamics and epidemic curve of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-Co V-2)Omicron BF.7 in Beijing under the emergent situation using Baidu index and influenza-like illness(ILI)surveillance.A novel hybrid model(multiattention bidirectional gated recurrent unit(MABG)-susceptible-exposed-infected-removed(SEIR))was developed,which leveraged a deep learning algorithm(MABG)to scrutinize the past records of ILI occurrences and the Baidu index of diverse symptoms such as fever,pyrexia,cough,sore throat,anti-fever medicine,and runny nose.By considering the current Baidu index and the correlation between ILI cases and coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)cases,a transmission dynamics model(SEIR)was formulated to estimate the transmission dynamics and epidemic curve of SARS-Co V-2.During the COVID-19 pandemic,when conventional surveillance measures have been suspended temporarily,cases of ILI can serve as a useful indicator for estimating the epidemiological trends of COVID-19.In the specific case of Beijing,it has been ascertained that cumulative infection attack rate surpass 80.25%(95%confidence interval(95%CI):77.51%-82.99%)since December 17,2022,with the apex of the outbreak projected to transpire on December 12.The culmination of existing patients is expected to occur three days subsequent to this peak.Effective reproduction number(Rt)represents the average number of secondary infections generated from a single infected individual at a specific point in time during an epidemic,remained below 1 since December 17,2022.The traditional disease surveillance systems should be complemented with information from modern surveillance data such as online data sources with advanced technical support.Modern surveillance channels should be used primarily in emerging infectious and disease outbreaks.Syndrome surveillance on COVID-19 should be established to following on the epidemic,clinical severity,and medical resource demand.

文摘Web usage mining,content mining,and structure mining comprise the web mining process.Web-Page Recommendation(WPR)development by incor-porating Data Mining Techniques(DMT)did not include end-users with improved performance in the obtainedfiltering results.The cluster user profile-based clustering process is delayed when it has a low precision rate.Markov Chain Monte Carlo-Dynamic Clustering(MC2-DC)is based on the User Behavior Profile(UBP)model group’s similar user behavior on a dynamic update of UBP.The Reversible-Jump Concept(RJC)reviews the history with updated UBP and moves to appropriate clusters.Hamilton’s Filtering Framework(HFF)is designed tofilter user data based on personalised information on automatically updated UBP through the Search Engine(SE).The Hamilton Filtered Regime Switching User Query Probability(HFRSUQP)works forward the updated UBP for easy and accuratefiltering of users’interests and improves WPR.A Probabilistic User Result Feature Ranking based on Gaussian Distribution(PURFR-GD)has been developed to user rank results in a web mining process.PURFR-GD decreases the delay time in the end-to-end workflow for SE personalization in various meth-ods by using the Gaussian Distribution Function(GDF).The theoretical analysis and experiment results of the proposed MC2-DC method automatically increase the updated UBP accuracy by 18.78%.HFRSUQP enabled extensive Maximize Log-Likelihood(ML-L)increases to 15.28%of User Personalized Information Search Retrieval Rate(UPISRT).For feature ranking,the PURFR-GD model defines higher Classification Accuracy(CA)and Precision Ratio(PR)while uti-lising minimum Execution Time(ET).Furthermore,UPISRT's ranking perfor-mance has improved by 20%.

文摘A rough set based corner classification neural network, the Rough-CC4, is presented to solve document classification problems such as document representation of different document sizes, document feature selection and document feature encoding. In the Rough-CC4, the documents are described by the equivalent classes of the approximate words. By this method, the dimensions representing the documents can be reduced, which can solve the precision problems caused by the different document sizes and also blur the differences caused by the approximate words. In the Rough-CC4, a binary encoding method is introduced, through which the importance of documents relative to each equivalent class is encoded. By this encoding method, the precision of the Rough-CC4 is improved greatly and the space complexity of the Rough-CC4 is reduced. The Rough-CC4 can be used in automatic classification of documents.
