A Survey of Techniques for Improving Information Retrieval through Query Expansion Surabhi Solanki, Seema Verma, Sachin Kumar International Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science, 2025 This paper presents a comprehensive survey of QE techniques in IR. Core techniques, employed data sources, and methodologies used in the process of query expansion are discussed. The output study highlights four main steps concerned with expanding queries: steps related to preprocessing of data sources and term extraction, calculation of weights and ranking of terms, selection of terms, and finally expansion. The most important findings are that only effective text normalization and removal of stopwords provide a real platform for performing QE. The introduction of contextually relevant terms significantly enhanced relevance feedback and thesaurus-based WordNet expansion techniques. They have been shown to significantly improve retrieval effectiveness as has been realized from various experiments conducted over years now. It also uses the manual query expansion techniques and discusses several automated ways in order to improve retrieval effectiveness. This work, by reviewing the related literature and methodologies, gives an overview of how the techniques of query expansion have been evolving with time and achieved better results in IR systems. The survey offers a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in information retrieval, shedding light on the advancements, challenges, and future directions in query expansion research.
Enhancing Query Expansion with ML-SSO: A Machine Learning, Semantic, Statistical, and Ontological Framework Surabhi Solanki, Seema Verma, Pulakesh Roy, Sachin Kumar, Rajib Banerjee, et al. 2025 IEEE International Conference on Interdisciplinary Approaches in Technology and Management for Social Innovation Iatmsi 2025, 2025 This paper presents a Machine Learning -Semantic Statistical and Ontological query expansion approach to enhance the performance of information retrieval systems. The proposed methodology ML-SSO looks to combine the strengths of each technique to obtain relevancy and accurately expanded queries. In this, pre-trained word-embed models were used for contextually relevant term expansions, and domain-specific ontologies were used to provide accurate and custom query expansions. Large-scale experiments conducted on benchmark datasets demonstrated that the ML-SSO outperformed traditional ones in MAP, Precision at k (P@10), Recall, and F-measure scores. These results make clear that the ML-SSO query expansion method improves the relevance and accuracy of the Retrieved Document. Future work will be directed towards optimizing the scalability, incorporating dynamic ontology driven into it, and using other advanced models in machine learning to further increase the performance of the system.
A Comprehensive Study of Case-Based Reasoning in Information Retrieval: An Artificial Intelligence Approach Surabhi Solanki, Seema Verma, Prolay Biswas, Pulakesh Roy, Aparna Singh, et al. 2025 International Conference on Pervasive Computational Technologies Icpct 2025, 2025 Information Retrieval (IR) systems which provide accurate and contextually relevant information to healthcare and law etc. where accuracy is very crucial. Traditional information retrieval methods fundamentally based on keyword matching and statistical models usually difficult to achieve the semantic meaning and contextual nuances of queries. Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), as an artificial intelligence technique, provide advance solutions to enhance IR systems based on a set of past cases through adaptive context-supporting retrieval. By taking advantage of past cases data, CBR allows IR systems to interpret complex context-sensitive queries and offer personalized results. The paper provides an overview of traditional IR models, examines the CBR integration into these systems, and evaluates the impact of CBR on retrieval effectiveness and personalization. And finally, we elaborate on the challenges involved with scaling and adapting cases towards real-time retrieval and provide some future directions for research, including integrating machine learning techniques and hybrid models to enhance the relevance, interpretability, and scalability of CBR-based IR systems.
Novel approach for crop weed detection in wheat fields using deep learning algorithms: Machine learning for weed detection Akanksha Bodhale, Seema Verma Fostering Cross Industry Sustainability with Intelligent Technologies, 2024 Agricultural productivity is greatly affected by weeds. To remove these weeds with chemical pesticides is harmful to the ecological environment. Also, with overall level of agricultural production rising, it is becoming more and more crucial to accurately distinguish between crops and weeds in order to perform accurate spraying just on the weeds. For generating precise spraying methods, it is required to identify the crop location and weed location more precisely. In recent years, many weed detection techniques are explored. This approach ranges from conventional to machine learning to deep learning. It is quite necessary to identify the color and texture features from image using image processing techniques for conventional approach. Then these conventional approaches are combined with some classical machine learning techniques. Any classical machine learning method necessitates a limited amount of training time, a low requirement for graphics processing units, and a limited sample size. There are two main approaches to weed detection from images: classification and segmentation.
