Logical-linguistic semantic in search engine

Users of search engines often have specific questions which they hope or believe a particular resource can answer. The problem, from the computer system’s perspective, is cognitive understanding of the contents in the source and finding the desired answer. Most of the search engines, with Google on...

description Users of search engines often have specific questions which they hope or believe a particular resource can answer. The problem, from the computer system’s perspective, is cognitive understanding of the contents in the source and finding the desired answer. Most of the search engines, with Google on the top, able to retrieve most likely relevant information based on a query. But not capable of providing answer to a question due to lack of deduction capability. In order to find a specific answer to a question, the engine needs to understand the information content and able to do deductive reasoning. Conventional information representation models used in the search engines rely on an extensive use of keywords and their frequencies in storing and retrieving information and other characteristic data on specific body of information. It is believed that we need new approaches for the development of future search engines which will be more effective. Semantic model is an alternative to conventional approach.
